Personal Narrative: How Literacy Changed My Life

As far as I could remember the only people that come to mind when I think of literacy sponsors would be my father and my grandmother. They had the biggest impact on me when you talk about literacy. But as I think of the term literacy, I come to find that I only think of my father and grandmother because I was raised by them. In fact, now that I think about it aunts, uncles, and cousins also played a part in my coming to be literate in different subjects.

My name was called and I could sign the bench which may be there still till this day.

I’ve wrote summaries on books, wrote pages of words out of the dictionary, while having to make sentences out of them at that. Just by being raised in that way helped me progress further, some things stick and stay with you forever which is not always bad. I will continue my education and grow to be more literate every day.
