Spanish Literacy By Elie Wiesel

Literacy is a lifelong process, as a child in elementary school, I learned about the basics of writing and reading. The basics helped me progress into middle school and high school. At this point, we write complex essays and read books that take hours or days to finish. Literacy is required to see development. I still remember the times I struggled in elementary school. My years in elementary school were the hardest. During this period, I learned the concept of English. I only knew what Spanish literacy was. Before starting my first day in kindergarten, I remember my parents talking to me about how important English is, and how it's required to progress in life. At the time I didn't know what they meant by “it's required to progress in life.”

My 10th-grade English teacher, Mr. Williams, was similar to Mr. Vandonord and even looked similar. Thought they were twins at first. My assumptions were wrong, but he was a great English teacher. This was another English class I liked. The class read the same book while reading independently. We took the annotations. We read about 4 books, but the one that stayed with me was an autobiography by Elie Wiesel. This autobiography is about Elie surviving the Holocaust. It was an emotional book to read. Elie mentions multiple times how his family was killed in front of him and how he starved throughout his time in Auschwitz. This was my first time feeling sympathy over a book. After the post-pandemic sophomore year, school felt normal again. Masks are no longer required. I could finally see people's faces. I took junior seriously since I had a year left of school. My English teacher, Mrs. Fox, was the BEST teacher I ever had. She was family to me, Ms. Fox was the only teacher who understood me. But her class was the hardest. I hated her class. The reason why is that she grades like a college professor. The topics were interesting, I'll admit
