My Journey Of Reading And Writing

Journey of Reading and Writing

My journey of reading and writing throughout my life is one started during my childhood in elementary school. Even though reading and writing have been a struggle for myself, I am still continuing to try to increase my reading and writing levels. As a child, I had difficulty in reading and was put into slower and extra classes. It was not until my senior year in high school that I wrote my first thesis paper. Since then as an adult, I have made a point to increase my reading and writing abilities.

I do not exactly remember when during my childhood that reading started to become a struggle for me. However, I do remember as early as third grade having to leave my classroom to go to another building for tutoring in reading. As I progressed through the years, the school eventually separated the students into full classrooms of students depending on their level of reading. During these times, I was unfortunately in the lowest level. I feel looking back, that I did not benefit any from having extra help in these classes. Once I reached junior high, all classes were divided into class periods. There was no longer any separation of reading levels. Everyone was incorporated into the same English class and expected to pass. This may have contributed to learning more since I was expected to learn at the same level and pass along with everyone else. I had to push and strive to get the passing grades in the class.
