I can’t really remember learning how to read. I guess I was just too young. I remember learning the process of writing when I was in kindergarten. I did not attend preschool so kindergarten was my first go at school. I remember living outside of Portland Oregon at the time, going to a small elementary school only in the afternoon. My memory includes me crudely trying to scribble out words onto the large, double lined paper. You know the kind you use when you are first learning to write. At the time I enjoyed writing, it was easy for me to finish my letters and words, and I thought that it was interesting, somewhat cryptic.

It wasn’t till about fourth grade when I started to feel inadequate in reading and writing. It was a bit of a rough time, I was adopted and moved states during fourth grade, and a lot of studies lacked. I was able to jump back on board with most of my learning like history in science. But studies that relied heavily on composite knowledge, or knowledge that is built off of itself like building blocks, was disrupted. I feel behind in both math and writing. I was enrolled in a “safety net” program in elementary school for reading and writing. I feel as though this was much more devastating to me learning than helpful. Since I was in this program I was granted certain privileges when I was in the class room, which basically allowed me to slack off. Things such as getting printed notes after class, so I felt like I could not pay attention all day and be fine. Extended time on reading and writing assignments, which again allowed me to slack off. I felt as if I had just got off on the wrong foot and I could not catch up. Looking back, I feel like the whole situation hindered my learning by allowing me to believe I was dumb or not capable of things other students can accomplish. I started to dislike reading and writing because I thought I was bad at it, and I could blow it off. It wasn’t until high school where I realized my own capability’s.
Today I most commonly read articles online and send texts to my friends and family. All of the
