literacy narrative

As I was growing up there were many literacy narrative, which influenced me into the writer I am today. Throughout reading literacy narratives, I learned almost anything can be a literacy, which made you the writer you are today. My personal literacy sponsors came from mostly my parents, in very indirect ways. I have also recently found a new literacy sponsor, my class English 151, because my teacher is awesome and has taught me so much already.

                Growing up with my parents always there for me, have taught me so much about the way I write and I didn’t even notice it. When my brother and I were just little babies up to the time when we could read, my mother read us stories. Both my brother and I learned how to talk and write at a very early age and I believe my mother was the influence in this. Most parents also allow their children to talk like little babies and talk to their children like they were little babies. However my mother would never do this, she would always speak to us like we were grown adults, and we clearly were hugely impacted by her influence.

                Another literacy sponsor was my father. He and I are very much alike, and he is a very successful business man, owning two companies. He would always take me to work with him, and attempt to teach me business stuff. His friends and workers would also talk to me and taught me how to be a business woman, and sell merchandise. Maybe subconsciously I retained this information, but I really do believe bonding with my dad and just talking to him influenced my writing style a lot.

                Finally, a really good literacy sponsor is my teacher Steven Kapela. I can honestly say I have hated English and I never listened in class up until this point. Every other teacher I have had makes writing and reading feel like a chore and be over strict about how to write. The way he teaches his students about writing makes it seem so fun and a lot less difficult then thought. Reading is also a very hard thing for me to do, it so challenging for me to pick up a book. The book for this English class is so interesting to me and made me understand so many different viewpoints to look at reading from. Therefore these three literacy sponsor, transformed me into the writer I am today.
