Personal Narrative: My Experience With Reading And Writing

576 Words2 Pages

When it came about reading and writing I've never liked either of them. I always proffered math or any other subject in general since they always seemed less challenging and gave me less of a hard time. I never used to read anything and when it came to writing I

never really bothered with it. My reading teacher during 4th grade was Mr.Segura he was always very professional with very high morals. He gave us 30 minutes during class dedicated to reading and after we are done reading a book we take an AR test. My problem was that I never took an AR test because I was to afraid to fail as I did the first time I tried it. I had kept reading the same book over and over again until he called me out one day in class and told me to step …show more content…

Anyway I really enjoy reading it is one of my favorite past times mostly consisting novels, how to books, and anything else that catches my interests. Now when it comes to writing I never had any big experience for it at all nor do I like to write. When I got into my 2nd year of high school I realized how difficult it is to write an essay especially when identifying CAPPS: Context- figuring out the time and place plus

motivational force, audience, purpose, persona- how the author wants to be perceived as, and tone. I always have a hard time identifying this plus a harder time trying to read. I'm unable to stay focus while reading a passage. My mind becomes a blank with no

recollection to what I've read. I can't stay focus while reading something I don't want to. It is for this reason my writing can be so bad at times or why I take a long time to come up with a response. It is also because of this that I began to hate writing in general, but even

however I will still try to attain a higher level of writing since it is a necessity. While I begun to love reading I feel like its getting ruined for me with all of the annotation and work that comes with it. My past experiences have led me to enjoy reading but I will always hate having to

    I started with the “Elementary Reading Attitude Survey,” in which Jax scored a full scale raw score of 62, showing that he is indifferent to reading. In the recreational reading section, it was found that Jax finds it tolerable reading on rainy days, during school, free time, at home, receiving a book for a present, starting a new book, reading during summer vacation, reading instead of playing, going to the book store, and reading different types of book. In addition, Jax’s attitude toward academic reading was similar to his recreational reading. He is indifferent about teachers asking him about what he reads, reading worksheets, reading during school,

    Who am I as a reader? I think of myself as an average reader. I first began to read, when in elementary when the English teachers, told us we had to read a book, and from there, I began to read books. I didn’t really like to read books, but we were told to do so. The book which I had to read in elementary school, were not bad for a little child to read.

    My relationship with writing has been much like roller coaster.Some experiences I had no control over. Other experiences were more influential. Ultimately it wasn’t until I started reading not because I had to read but because I wanted to, that's when my relationship reached change. I would have probably never cared about writing as I do today if it weren't for the critics in my family. When I was a child, my aunts and uncles always been in competition with who's child is better in school. I have always hated reading and writing because of the pressure to prove my family wrong was overwhelming for me. I had to prove them wrong and show them that I was capable of being "smart" which according to them was getting straight A's in all your classes.

    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.

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.

  • My Narrative Writing: My Journey Of My Literacy

    883 Words  | 2 Pages

    My literacy journey began long before I had actually learned how to read or write. While recently going through baby pictures with my mother, we came across a photo of my father and I book shopping on the Logos boat, a boat that would come to my island every year that was filled with books for our purchasing. Upon looking at this picture, my mother was quite nostalgic and explained how they began my journey to literacy through experiences like this. My earliest memory of experiencing literature was as a small child. My parents would read bedtime stories to me each night before I went to bed. I vividly remember us sitting on the bed together with this big book of “365 bedtime stories for 365 days” and we read one story each day until we had

    Reading has been one of my favorite hobbies since I was a little child. I grew up as a normal child should grow and eventually I had to start learning for me to fit in society. My literacy started many years ago, after I knew how to talk and communicate with people. Reading my alphabet was quite stressful and I had to be given a hand by my family members. I remember my parents reading with me and it was the most meaningful and memorable way to spend time with me. This is because I liked reading a lot and I was eager to learn so that I could fit in with my older siblings. My favorite books were storybooks taking about adventures and fairytales

    Overall I like doing this project. I find a lot of new things. Also I love being able to talk about what I have read. I could talk someones ear off about books if they were willing to listen, a lot of people aren’t. Sometimes I do it anyway. I don’t think that I will ever stop reading. I can’t wait until I get a job and I don’t have homework. Then I can just come home and read all night. It would be perfect. Especially perfect if I got a writing job like I want. Reading and writing all day, that is something I could get used to.

    “English teachers usually ask about reading assignments- questions designed to bring out the points that I had decided they should know.”, this is what started to turn me away from reading and writing. By the 8th grade I had drastically reduced the amount of reading and writing I did to a minimum of what was assigned. Personal expression and the freedom to learn what I was interested in became limited. My love, the passion, it dimmed in comparison to seeing the moon out in the morning when the sun is coming up, hardly there, but still noticed.
