My Journey with Two Different Literacy’s
I have been struggling with reading and writing from what I remember. But at such a young age I did have a passion for reading until I had to learn English. Before I started learning English I had a mysterious attraction to different types of genres when it came down to books. I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts one of the coldest state ever in the winter. As I turned one my grandmother got very sick and she needed help so we ended up moving down to one of the most beautiful, tropical, friendliest island ever, Puerto Rico.

I explained to her that I wanted to learn and figure out what happened with the Llorona, I wanted to know why she lost her child. After purchasing that book I kept a focus on mystery
