 BECOMING LITERATE


We get more literate as we age. While some people learn to read and write the hard way, others pick it up quickly and effortlessly. Most people who learn it the hard way are not in school, traveling from one nation to another, lacking the proper opportunities, struggling with mental or physical health, feeling discouraged, or living in a horrible environment.




Growing up, I could see how much my elder sister was studying, how little sleep she was getting, and how much she studied day and night. As I went behind her, I saw how she carried the book, made notes, created her own study questions, etc. She is the one who gave me the confidence to learn how to read and write and to be curious about literacy.








I was the child in elementary school who lacked the confidence, energy, or/and intelligence to become a reader. I would complete all of my coursework and studies, but I wasn't as literate and informed as I could be, until I immigrated to the US. Everything changed when I arrived here; it became extremely challenging to learn literacy, especially while learning a new language and living in a foreign country.





When I initially immigrated to the country, I was in fifth grade, and things significantly changed after that. I had to learn, grow, and study because it was necessary. It took me years to master the language and how American culture and communities operate since it was so challenging and ambitious. Several of my teachers worked hard to assist me, but others were more concerned with the fact that I didn't speak the language.


                    



Years later, I worked hard to educate myself, putting in the time and effort needed to absorb the language and become literate on my own. Up until it became worthwhile, it really was incredibly difficult.






I gained an understanding of different forms of literacy, including those related to money, gender, culture, and language. It was worth the struggle I went through to learn how to read and write, and I'm currently working hard to become even more literate and open to learning new things. 




Literacy is advantageous in all respects. I have power and strength in life since I am literate and continuing to study. Literacy improves personality and overall quality of life. Through literacy, we gain knowledge and increase our ability for comprehension.






I still make every effort to increase my literacy and study as much as I can. I could better understand what it's like to be literate if I could compare the person I am now to the first time I believed I was literate. There is no right or wrong age to become literate; anybody can do so.




I now apply literacy in many aspects of my life. Everything I do depends on speaking, writing, reading, and engaging with one another in school, at work, at home, and wherever else I go.













I am the first person who has motivated me and, however, hasn't helped me in reaching the level of literacy I was attempting to achieve back then.

#POP CULTURE

  Is Pop Culture Good For You? Is pop culture good for you? One of the most popular questions of all time is this one. While a few people believe it to be good, others do not. Pop culture has its own positives and negatives, just like every other example and everything else. In addition to being useless and pointless, pop culture can also be quite beneficial and a form of escape. Everything has its own good and bad.  PROS                                                                            Pop culture may be beneficial in a variety of ways, including keeping in contact, bringing people together, learning, entertaining, teaching, and making everything easier. The most important of them all is, staying in touch. We can communicate with our friends...

Is Fast Food The New Tobacco?

  Is Fast Food The New Tobacco? There have been fast food for a very long time. The White Castle, the first fast food establishment, opened in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas. In the 1900s, men worked and women did the cooking. The whole family would have a pleasant dinner together when the men returned home to a cooked meal. Everything has changed now; there are many more fast food places, both men and women work, and even children are working.   So, is fast food becoming a replacement for tobacco? People are growing more addicted to fast food in the same way that they are to nicotine and smoking. Although fast food labels don't provide much information about if the food is healthy or not, tobacco companies do alert people to the fact that it's not good for them and might kill them.   Why Are People Eating Fast Food? According to my study, as of 2022, there are 197,163 fast food restaurants running in the US. This could be the main cause of why so many people consume fast food. ...
