Being Literateate In Today's Society
Everything in today’s society, more or less, requires being literate. There are so many different types of literacy sponsors; it would be hard to list them all at once. While there can be many positive literacy sponsors, there also can be many negative, either way they are all around us. Everyone learns in different ways, but we all must be literate to communicate and survive in today’s society. I learned the basics of reading, writing, and speaking from my parents. As a child you are stuck to your parent’s side for a considerable amount of time. You watch your parents and learn how the world works from them. Many friends and family when hearing me talk comment on how I speak just like my mother does—whether they actually mean it or not, I
do believe it is true. I have always had a close bond with my parents and younger sister, and they have been a big part in my life. When I first was learning to read, my parents would sit me down with them and have me read stories to my younger sister. I would more often than not always choose my favorite book, Harold and the Purple Crayon. As I went through the book, my mom would help me learn words I didn’t know until I could finally read the book all by myself. Another impact on my learning to read would have to be my mother’s love for reading. I would always see her sitting down in the morning with a book in her hands. I would always beg her read it out loud. I think that’s one of the main reasons as I got older I started to enjoy reading so much. I was introduced to the idea that reading is something you do for fun at such a young age, it just stuck with me. Growing up all my life I have been privileged. Always having a computer around me, plenty of books to choose from, and having an education where I was taught things from how to use computers, how to spell, read, and write. I remember in elementary school always looking forward every day of school to free reading time. Reading as a child was something I cherished and helped make my way to becoming a better writer. At a young age I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I believe getting this disease had a big influence on me as a child. It forced me to grow up faster than others, having to read and understand complex documents and such that I needed to learn to understand my disease.
