Literacy Narrative Johanna Eldredge Southern Technical College Jennifer Polk The biggest obstacle that I have encountered in my ability why to read and write are my Learning disabilities. I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Dyslexia and it has caused me much frustration. I has no idea why other kids could read out loud so well and I couldn’t. I had no idea why it took me so long to read a few pages of a book when other kids were almost done with the chapter. I had no idea why I couldn’t even sit down to write a paper when other kids were doing their essays in the span of a couple hours.

One day, a dusty old $48 sword, that was on display in a glass case in the basement, turned up missing. And “Jack-The-Wack” (as he was secretly referred to by his staff) decided to pay $500 to have all ten of his employees given Polygraph (lie-detector) tests, at a cost of $50 per head. At 17 years old, I was one of those ten nervous employees who had to wait two weeks to undergo their polygraph test. Taking that lie-detector test left me with a lifelong interest with the polygraph. First, I will give you a little bit of a background on the polygraph, then I will explain some of the testing procedures, and finally, I will discuss the controversy behind the polygraph tests.

A passing mention Frances Cayton heard in a history class was enough to fuel more than a year of intense research for a paper that never got a grade. In fact, it wasn’t even assigned. But that’s not to say that Frances, a senior at St. Mary’s School in Raleigh, wasn’t rewarded for her effort. Her paper was accepted for publication this fall in The Concord Review, a highly selective quarterly journal that publishes academic research papers from high school students. In Frances’ Western Civilization honors class sophomore year, teacher Lisa Grabarek mentioned that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s policies killed more people than Hitler did, and Frances wanted to know more.
I had my ups and downs, while attending Medtech College. The worst experience at Medtech was the math class that they offer. I had to take math twice before I passed. I was so happy to complete the class on the second time around and with a “C.” I’ve been on the Dean Team four times and the Honor Roll three times. At this time my current GPA is at 3.68, and continuing to go

Trying to compartmentalize and break it all down into generalized topics to follow made my work become overly stiff and choppy. The hardest writing assignment I could say I’ve ever had was sophomore year in high school. Our government class was assigned a 6 page minimum paper, fully researched with proper citings, the subject matter being microeconomics. I do remember everyone in the class thinking our teacher had dropped his brain on the sidewalk after reading this assignment at the beginning of the semester long class. Having such a broad topic with such overwhelming information, using an outline as the prewriting was necessary to properly write that paper organized well and without incorrect
