Recommended: The benefits of extracurricular activities

My names is Ayla Karau, i am a loving mom to my beautiful daughter Miranda, she is 9 months and a little spit fire! A few hobbies that i have include tractor pulling, mudding, and working on motors. I am attending NTC to become a Registered Nurse. One day i would like to make it into OB GYN department, to help deliver babies. The birth of a child is an amazing precious experience for a mother, and i want to be the one that puts the light into a mother's eyes by giving her a joy-full, heart warming experience when life is born.
My preschool years are a little fuzzy, but gave me a memory i’ll never forget. I was about 4 years old, me and other children would stand in a big circle while our preschool teacher read to us the book In a Cave. When …show more content…

In kindergarten we had a teacher, her name was Mrs. Vanstraten. She would spend a half hour with each kid helping them with letters, writing, and reading small base words. In first grade we were sent home with level A reading books, if we could read level a we would graduate to level B, this continued all the way thru fifth grade. I learned to read with the help of my mom. My mom was always helping me point to our words sounding out words, and even reading the book multiple times a night for practice. My mom was the one who inspired me to try harder because she believed in me, which made me believe in …show more content…

I don't read for my own pleasure any more there's a lack of time, i am a full time mom, full time employee, and a student in college. If i get time to myself i’ll read a small article out of a magazine or on Facebook, but finding time to read an adult book in my life is harder than one thinks. If i got the opportunity i would love to read about old medical equipment and treatments. It's so amazing how the medical industry has evolved from the 1800’s or even earlier. It's amazing how advanced we are and how we think of things now compared to then. I believe reading is important in any career you go into, but reading outside of school for hobby is honestly not my cup of tea. I would rather be involved in my hobbies, or playing and planning days with my daughter. When it comes to my daughter's reading skills i believe it's very important for a child to be read to in his/hers life time, and a goal book during the summer when not in school. But after a highschool if you choose to not read i don't think it's that

    When I was younger, I was interested in reading. I loved leisure reading and used to get different books from the library at least once a week. As I have grown older, I read dramatically less and reading is more irritating. I hate reading and sometimes get annoyed when I have reading assignments in class. Through the years, there were readings that I was forced to read and did not enjoy. It has turned me off from reading for the most part. I know that reading is something that is important, but I also know that it is something that I hate doing most of the time.

    School was an overwhelming place for me as a child. The teacher told my mother many times that I was great at socializing, although, I took too much time cleaning my desk and thus never finish the assignments. The teacher would send me home with simple books to practice reading to my mom. I would bring them home to read to my mom, but my mom never wanted to listen to me read and so I never practiced reading. She later told me that she felt they were “stupid.” To this day, I wonder if she knew the effect she had on my reading development.

    Throughout my childhood I was never very good at reading. It was something I always struggled with and I grew to not like reading because of this. As a child my mom and dad would read books to me before I went to bed and I always enjoyed looking at the pictures and listening. Then, as I got older my mom would have me begin to read with her out loud. I did not like this because I was not a good reader and I would get so frustrated. During this time I would struggle greatly with reading the pages fluently, I also would mix up some of the letters at times. I also struggled with comprehension, as I got older. My mom would make me read the Junie B. Jones books by myself and then I would have to tell her what happened. Most

  • What I Learned When I Learn How To Read

    518 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is one person that I can recall that significantly taught me how to read more than anyone else and that person is my aunt, Jennie. Aunt Jennie was a first grade teacher at the time, so it was basically her job to teach kids how to read, and she took on the task of teaching me how to read too. She is an incredibly important figure in my life. She only lives 10 minutes or so away from me, so I would see her all the time, and thus it was fairly convenient for her to come over quickly and teach me after school. I was only 4 when she taught me how to read, and she taught me like I was another student in her first grade class, so I became very advanced for my age. It was extremely helpful for me to learn at an early age and I believe that one should learn as soon as they can, and when I have kids I’m going to teach them early.

  • Reading And Reading: My Importance Of Reading Books

    Reading was never something I fussed about growing up. As a child, I loved genres of realistic fiction. I was hooked on The New Adventures of Mary Kate and Ashley, Goosebumps, The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes, Judy Moody, and especially, Zoobooks and Highlights magazines. My mother was always ready to help build my reading and writing skills. She took me to the library constantly to feed my passion for books and knowledge. I loved exploring the shelfs, organizing the books, and filling up my library cart. I tried keeping a diary in elementary school to keep track of my outings with my parents and grandparents to museums, zoos, movies, and libraries. This flash of writing enthusiasm was spun from books I read in the 4th and 5th grade that were

    The importance of reading has not changed from earlier eras but present day readers acquire their literature on mobile devices, online sites, and visual aids. I think that earlier eras spend a lot of their time get a better understanding of the author but present day readers do not have that kind of time to read all day long. On the other hand, present-day readers have advanced technology that allows readers to have visual aids to see what is the author is projecting on screen and different mobile devices allow individuals on the go to

  • My Love Of Reading Essay

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    I remember that, when being taught to read I already knew more words than I had realized. Watching my dad’s finger skim under the words as he read them had helped me subconsciously learn those words. I learned to read and write at a much more accelerated pace than my peers. I felt impatient with those who lagged behind, not realizing that not everyone had been given the same advantages as me. The moment I started to read on my own, my great aunt, a retired kindergarten teacher, would send me a box of books she had used in her classroom every year for my birthday. Throughout elementary school, when I received the box, I would bring it up to my room and practice reading all the books on my own. Being able to read on my own opened the door to a world I hadn’t been able to reach without help

    I was unable to read until about 5th grade. At that time all the hard work to learn a different way to read took hold and here I am today, a college student with a 3.5 GPA!!! My mom would not let others be judgmental of me as I was working towards the goal of reading. She kept me current on all the knowledge my age group was partaking in by reading everything out loud to me and writing down what I wanted to say. I now love to read and continue to do so differently than others.

    I do believe we also had a trip to the library and got to pick out books and read and meet all the librarians. I also remember that in the classrooms there was always the alphabet posted up on the wall or around the room. I think that all books we read in my earlier grades were all stories that were kind of like the ones I was read to at home. I don’t think that the books that were read to me in school had any specific topics. My favorite teacher from my beginning years in school was my kindergarten teacher. I do not remember her name, I just know she was exceedingly gracious and gratifying and when she read to us it reminded me of when my great grandma would read to

    Due to the fact that reading was pushed upon me so vigorously as a child, it lost its luster to me.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Reading

    1112 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being raised by a teacher has definitely come with a couple of cons. The constant nagging to do my work, the unavoidable trips to open house that my mom always seems to know about and the constant grade check ups contributed to her teaching persona. But along with the occasional academic checks up came a great range of expertise and unique tactics to help me learn. Because of all of the tips and tricks along with her consistent nagging, I was able to develop into a strong reader and writer at a young age. From around when I was seven years old, my mom would check out instructional books from her school that were a couple grade levels above mine and have me read a couple pages every night. Some nights, I would hate the idea of reading and after
