Reading when I was a toddler

When I first started to read was when I was a toddler my grandma she taught me a few words and telling me to start sounding the words out breaking them down into syllables and that's when I started to read word from word then when I started going to school I already knew how to read my teacher was very proud of me when she knew that I already knew how to read I couldn't pronounce the large words so I sounded them out and I got the words correctly my teacher also taught me how to read with punctuation marks though she explained what each of them meant so when I read I will know what it meant when I come across one so now that I'm older I know what the punctuation marks means now.

My aunt also was teaching me every afternoon after school she would get a certain grade level book and she would tell me to sound the words out and I would say them and they would be correct I would also get a pencil and a piece of paper and write down all the words at least 3 to 5 times each maybe I will catch on to others when they speak to other people I would sound out the vowel sounds that helped me out a lot too.

I knew it would take time though just keep practicing practice makes perfect so I would practice every single day after school when I made it into the door I would put my backpack down and get out a book to read begin on the words sounding them out and get pencil and paper write them down every time I say them out loud my grandma would stand beside me and listen to me say them and write them down as I go. She said that I am getting better and better I was proud that she was proud of me I felt like I was achieving a huge goal I accomplished my goal too.

My teacher would see me enter the room each day and when I entered I would sit down and begin to read she would wink and smile at me then I would smile back at her with happiness I was so happy and joyful I didn’t know what to do but with huge words it would take time though I was good but not great I know it was ok though because my teacher told me I will get them someday I wrote the words down that I struggled with and say them 5 times each until I get them correctly then I finally got them.

I knew that it was easy as I became older I would think about the times then would I come across the word I would say to myself “I remember I was struggling with this word.” I would laugh because it was very hilarious to me but it was ok though. That’s how I began to read thanks to my family and teachers

Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address

According to Licoln he do not want the backs or any other race to be slaves he wants all race to be free the populationhas increased everyone has the same God prayer works and can be answered fully the North and South had the most terrible war nation wounds occured and was involked he thinks that it was angry and he wanted what was right for others and he said " How can a man say he's a Christian how dare he pray and practices "The judgement of the Lord is true and righteous altogether." In this passage Lincoln isbecause he wants everyone to be free and they have started war between the North and South I think that people in the war feel like they are a bad person too because they are killing someone  Indigent else they wouldn't feel good about it so Lincoln should want no war at all he wants slaves to be free I agree with him everyone should be equal and he quoted "If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God." What he's trying to say is that God didn't want it to be that way colored people should not be different than any other race. People shouldn't be killed. "How could someone pray to the same God and still want harm done to others." in other words he is saying that they would never want to give up war if they war if wanted to .

I Am

                                                           I Am ...







I am the stronger and better person
I wonder who I will be be in the future
I hear voices in my mind giving me ideas
I see a future ahead of me
I want to be a stronger person than today
I am the stronger and better person

I pretend to be a great wonderful person
I feel that I can be anything
I touch the future button and zoom in
I worry that I can't enter the world on my own
I cry everytime I hear about this sinnin world
I am the stronger and better person

I understand what my family goes through
I say what i feel and how I feel
I dream to be a great basketball star
I try to be the older and better person
I hope that I will be right and handle problems
I am the stronger and better person
