How literacy changed me
Baby Steps
Step One
Baby and Adolescent years
Baby and Adolescent years
I was always crying if my mom wasn’t
around because I could never be
comfortable around other people
Elementary School
I didn’t have many friends because I
thought no one liked me… when really
I was too shy to open up
Baby Steps
Step two
YearsJunior High School
Social life became harder to deal
with
 More pressure to fit in and make
friends
 I became much more aware of how
shy I really was
 By the end of junior high
school…nothing changed

Our first assignment
Write an autobiography about
yourself an present it to the class
YIKES!!!!!!
The BIG day
I made sure I was the last to present. I
was extremely nervous!
My hands were shaking an I was a
wreck!
I took a deep breath and completed my
presentation
SUCCESS!!!!!!
Although that presentation alone didn’t
immediately change me but it was the
beginning of the new me!
With each and every assignment I
began to be more open and social in
the classroom as well as outside the
class
I no longer was
