"LITERACY MOMENT"

FROM ALL MY MEMORIES OF BEING LITERATE IN DIFFERENT THINGS I THINK MY MOST CHERISHED LITERACY MOMENT IS WHEN I SPOKE ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME. I WAS BORN IN ECUADOR AND THEREFORE SPOKE ONLY SPANISH. I CAME TO NEW YORK WHEN I WAS 4 AND DIDN'T START SCHOOL TILL SEPTEMBER OF MY 5TH BIRTH YEAR, WHICH WAS A YEAR LATER FROM WHEN I ARRIVED. NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH AT HOME AND I HADN'T REALLY MADE ANY FRIENDS. WHEN I STARTED KINDERGARTEN I WAS VERY SHY AND DIDN'T SPEAK MUCH BUT 3 MONTHS LATER OUT OF NO WHERE I BEGAN SPEAKING ENGLISH AS IF I KNEW IT ALL MY LIFE. ONCE I REALIZED I KNEW HOW TO SPEAK IT (KINDERGARTEN LEVEL) I WANTED TO TALK ALL THE TIME. I THINK I WAS ABLE TO PICK IT UP SO QUICK SINCE I WAS YOUNG BECAUSE I KNOW ITS NOT EASY FOR EVERYONE.

Welcome to my blog

I started my blog for my English 101 class at my 1st year at LaGuardia Community College. I'm using this blog for assignments but I hope I end up having fun with it too.
