INTRODUCTION
Learning to read and write has an effect on a person later in life. I had many different materials provided to me, as a child, to help me learn to read and write.
Ex: computers, electronics, books
SPONSORS
My grandma has always been my main sponsor. Since she was a kindergarten teacher, she was always doing something, or teaching me something new. She was an inspiration to me. As a child, Aliyah would always come to me for help with all types of homework. She came to me before she would even think about going to her parents and when she wasnt working on school work, she was reading a book, or solving a puzzle. She was a bright child since she began school, said my grandma (A.Days).
SPONSORS (CONT.)
I would also consider my parents to be my sponsors. They made all the decisions which aided in me learning literacy. My parents bought me everything I possibly needed to learn literacy. Due to me excelling so quickly, I skipped kindergarten. I was considered too advanced and kindergarten was a waste of time (L. Days).
CONFLICTS
Wanting to read everything wasnt always a good thing as I was growing up. I ran out of materials to read countless times. It was too expensive to keep buying new books and electronic games. Money would get tight every once in a while and we couldnt afford to keep going out and buying a new game or a new book every single time she ran out of things to read. We, as her parents, had to come with something that wouldnt cost money, but would keep challenging her, (L. Days). My parents came up with a word game that was inexpensive, but very beneficial to my learning.
CONCLUSION
As I grew older, reading and writing wasnt as important to me as it once was. I took part in many extracurricular activities, including sports and clubs, as I began middle and high school. Learning literacy so early in my life allowed me to learn other subjects at a quicker pace, such as math. Math came fairly easy to me and as I progressed, I realized how much I really loved numbers. That brings me to my major, Accounting. My love for numbers helped me find a major that I would enjoy.
