The experience I've had in my learning of literacy is far different than those of the students I've been involved with in the sessions. What I believe to be some basic aspects of writing, literacy, etc. the students had no idea how to utilize them or even what they were. Their education seems so lackluster to what mine was and that was surprising to realize. I felt like all students got the same education, but I was wrong. I went to school in a predominately white community with good schools, whereas most of these students go to lower income schools that don't have as much money to give them the things they need to be able to get the education they deserve. Seeing how where they live affects what kind of education they get, to me is something that shouldn't be happening.
We did have some similarities in our literacy experience. We both had teachers that cared a lot about our education and wanted us to succeed in life. Having a great support system that has faith in what we are doing and that we can succeed is a key part in our literacy experience. Being taught by someone who cares, gives them the education they need and deserve. If they have teachers that don't care about what they are teaching them, then they don't get the education that they deserve to get.
