Point Elementary School in East Islip. I enrolled in the year-long Suffolk County Reading Council to enhance my literacy expertise in reading and writing topics. There were a plethora of wonderful authors and topics presented‚ not to mention many activities and ideas I could introduce into my classroom.

My experience with Accelerated Reader (AR) is not long‚ but I started doing ARs when I got to Leilehua in my freshman year. At first‚ it was difficult for me because I did not understand much English; therefore‚ when I took my first STAR test‚ I got a low reading level and I felt disappointed and dumb.

I have had the luxury of experiencing both. The literacy I have gained in past courses and work experience is characterized by attending class‚ completing tasks in the work place‚ peer and instructor critique‚ personal habits‚ and literacy acculturation. Although I have taken an English 101 course‚ I can’t recall if the learning

It was caught early enough that she had a good chance of overcoming it but‚ at 11‚ anything that ended with the word "cancer" sounded like a death sentence to me.

I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school‚ where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all‚ and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You’re not going to college‚ you’ll not be able to

My experience is about when I first started going to Plum Grove in seventh grade and continued on to eighth grade. Before this experience‚ I thought that seventh and eighth grade were going to be very hard for me because I believed that it would be a lot more complicated than past school years. I thought that eighth grade was going to be a whole lot harder than seventh. My teachers always said that eighth grade is like a preview of high school. I never really liked school before I came to Jr. High
