Dear Milton,

My literacy sponsors would be every teacher throughout my educational career. It has been a positive literacy sponsor for me, including the teacher who taught me English. My English teacher (Milton) aided in growing my writing and reading skills with different forms of literature, he opened my mind to the hugeness of the world, texts, opinions, cultures, and styles of thought that exist.  I learned about different types of religions, and I learned the opportunity to read sections of some religious texts for the first time. However, my teacher helped me to become more accepting and knowledgeable of other values, ideals, and expectations than what I had become literate in with the sponsorship of my parents. This has been an extremely healthy relationship between my sponsors and me.

Dear John

My literacy sponsors would be my family.My parents taught me a very valuable lesson which is to acknowledge and feel your feelings.
Avoiding your negative emotion may feel like an effective way to handle things but in fact it is not, all it’s doing is postponing your failure. Ignoring your emotions is like running away from something that’s on your shoulder. The only way to be truly free is to face the music and let it
consume you.I am very grateful for my family and hope they will never leave my side.

Dear Leif

My literacy sponsor is my father, my father’s education only achieve primary school, hence, he doesn’t have good literacy. And than he always told me that I need try my best to learn, our familiy members only you have chance to learn literacy. Also, when you have a good literacy in future, you also would have more opportunity to find a better job. If you don’t have enough literacy, you wouldn’t understand what other people talking about, you couldn’t make a good communication. These words of my father encourage me to become a literate person, it both good for my future and good for my parents.

Dear Maria,

My literacy sponsors would be my Mother and Grandmother because those are my main family members that I go to for any important intellectual facts or information. They are very wise because they’ve experienced a lot more than I did in life so far. I use them as guides and supports for me to be a better person. Without having a Father involved in my life at a young age was hard because back then was the time I needed him most. I had to ask my grandmother about some personal things in life especially the fact I had no male role model to speak to. My mother on the other hand told me straight forward on how life is and what things are expected to happen such as getting a job, going to school, and other important things. I’m thankful for my sponsors/role models because they taught me how to be a bigger person and a better man than my father was.

• Write a letter about your own literacy sponsors, but write it to a friend rather than to an instructor. You can build on what you wrote in class last week to give you a place to start.
• Begin your post/letter with “Dear …..” Make it personal.
• Make it as long as you want. If you want to do it in Word and then copy it into a blog post, fine. If you want to do it in Word, and upload it (as an attachment), start a new post, then use the Add Media icon, Add Media, Upload file, Insert. Then publish.
