My memory of literacy just occurred over my winter break in between semesters. Despite the fact that it was a very short break, I found myself very bored at home and wanting something to do. So, I began to thumb through old projects from elementary and kindergarten school days. I began laughing to myself at such the weird things I wrote and how they did not make any sense at all. For example, there was a simple sheet from kindergarten that was just a list of my favorite things (food, music, hobbies, and so forth). Considering the fact I was very young, I wrote some things down that did not make any sense at all. For example, as my favorite sport, I wrote ‘Suker.” If you couldn’t decipher at what I was trying to say, it was “soccer.”<\/p>\n
