Jogging back to the area, he looked at his locker. He was supposed to buy a lock at open house...was everything centered around open house? Maybe he should ask one of the counselors...no. The counselors don’t do anything here, according to some seniors who had bumped into him and decided to warn him about everything in the school that he wants to steer away from. Counselors were one of them. There’s a lot of others, like the food, the water fountains, pretty much everything but his actual …show more content…

Fifth period, he was supposed to get his lunch and bring it to the band room and eat it there. Arranging his folders for the order of his classes, he held everything in his arms, close to his chest as he nearly ran to the stairs, pushing himself to keep speed as he went up, making it into his homeroom just before the tardy bell rung. He knew they weren’t giving tardies for the first week, but it was reassuring knowing that it wasn’t much of a walk, even with the stairs. The first day of German went smoothly. He listened to the teacher, glad that he had a sense of humor. He was actually quite funny. They didn’t actually do any German, just introduced themselves. It was odd being the only British kid.

My Literacy Journey

Literacy always starts about the same. In stages, first you learn your ABCs and then on to small words and it just accumulates from there until you know how to read and comprehend a small book and a larger book and so on. During your time in elementary school you learn a little more in each grade. But it all comes together and gives you a realization of whether literacy is on your list of interest or not.
