I have come to understand the harsher conformity of lower level courses. Gatto says “after that episode with his grandpa set him straight cured him of boredom forever, and here and there over the years I was able to pass on the lesson to some remarkable student.

I did multiple power points and projects, I learned how to speak in front large crowds professionally and know what to do and what not to do, which would help me in college and in my career. At the end of the six weeks I was required to participate and complete an “End of the program
One of the good thingsabout education in Hati for me was good teachers. They taught me to memorize many lessons and topics with out having to look back over notes.

In my opinion, despite all of his specific characteristics, Mr. Fleagle was an outstanding teacher with an ability to understand when, where, and how to encourage his students to write. [I liked the essay because] my previous situation was very similar to author’s. First, I also hated writing essay, whether in Spanish or English, in middle school.

Brittney Stegeman Professor Brockman English 101-001 Literacy Narrative 6-17-14 Sendak, Seuss, and Keats, Oh My! The most vivid, earliest memory I have of learning to read and write was when I was in kindergarten. I remember this because I remember a book my mom bought for my sixth birthday. It was called Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak. She used to read this book to me and my two younger brothers every night at bedtime.
Kids would make fun of me but I never gave up because in a situation like that, that’s the worst thing you could do because if you don’t keep trying you will never learn, everyone learns from their mistakes. I got here in the second grade. It took me about two years to learn English and three to read well. My first book was “Captain Underpants”.
