I have still in my mind my first contact with writing, I was about 5 or 6 years old, my mom just took me out of primary because my teacher used to hit me, so I stayed at home, at first I thought "well I'm so lucky" but then my nightmare started. I lived with my mom, brother (who is younger than me) and my aunt with her husband and daughter. The problem began when my mom started to work, so she left me with my aunt, who took care of me. Well, that was the idea.
Days were gone until one day my aunt decided to teach me at home, but that was a terrible idea. She used to be an angry woman, she was worse than my ex-teacher, she yelled at me, hit me and punished me just because I had not understood something or if I did it wrong. With tears I learnt to read and write. Mi first pieces of writing were those that I put into my mom's purse, in which I asked her to come back early.
However, when I started my primary school this changed, my first teacher was so sweet, lovely and cute, she really taught me, and I remember that her class was very different with her I learnt to write and read. Actually, my primary was so good; teachers were committed with their work. Primary was full of colors, love and writing with sense.
Then in my high school, I thought that all was going to continue like primary but not; it changed a lot, I mean, writing and reading became boring and tedious processes; from 6• to 9•, even though I always was good at writing and reading, they turned annoyed for me.
But fortunately in 10 and 11 grade I had a teacher, who really encouraged me to write, for a while, I enjoyed to write; even thought she was a little old fashion, she had some pretty good modern ideas; which helped me in my writing process.
Finally when I began at the university, it was so different from high school, the level of this kind of writing was much higher than what my teachers taught me. At first it was a little difficult because I had some lake of knowledge but I have been learning through all this three years, now I aware of this and its importance.
Today, me as a writer, I am sure I’m still making mistakes but I am pretty sure that less than before.
Well... It's an interesting text and I'm sorry because of your ex-teacher and aunt's teaching at home when you were a child. I realize you have improved many aspects in your writing; you express very well your ideas and thoughts. That’s Good my friend!! :)
ReplyDeleteA suggestion I would like to make you is about the "punctuation." Pay attention to it because sometimes I got lost while reading and I had to read again to understand the text.
Good Job!
