I was born in 1997
Before starting preschool, I spent time at home with my mother and she spoke to me in Chinese. -
The Beginning of Pre-School
When I turned three years old, I started to go to pre-school only for part time. The rest of the day after school I would spend time with my mom at home. -
First Learning Experience
While my time in preschool, my teacher taught me how to count and recognize numbers and letters. As I am learning to count numbers and recognize letters, I start to scribble/draw on paper like a regular toddler. -
Picture Books!
By the time I was six years old, I was interested in books with letters, numbers, and colorful bright pictures. I am beginning to learn how to read in English. Since, English is my second language. -
Read and Write
Approaching my reading and writing skills, I am only getting better when I practice more and more each day. -
Chapter Books!
After getting bored and having to improve my reading skills, I was interested in chapter books. One of the chapter books that I really enjoyed at this age was Junie B. Jones. -
High School
I started high school when I turned fourteen years old, and reading became harder. Reading became longer and time consuming, so I ended up being lazy and skimmed through the article or text to whatever I was reading -
High School Continued...
The books that I was forced to read in English class became overwhelming and I was not interested. I wished I could pick something to read that had more of my interest. Leading to this, my reading was poorly achieved. -
Almost Done With High School!
In my senior year of high school, I took reading and writing seriously. In 2014, my teacher helped me improve my reading and writing skills by teaching me how to "talk to the text" while reading long articles, so I can better understand and comprehend the whole reading. -
Here Comes College
When I started college, I did not get into college level English. So I took some other classes to help me improve my writing and reading skills. Those classes were very helpful. The professors did a great job working with me to improve my literacy in reading.
