In the reading Malcolm X Chapter 11 “Saved” beginning paragraphs Malcolm x said ” but every book I picked had a few sentence which didn’t contain anywhere from one nearly all the words that might as well have in Chinese . When I just skipped those words , of course , I really ended up with little idea of what the book said ” I relate to what he said. I remember in high school and middle school I really struggled with math . My parents / people around me use to say “It’s not hard Migdalia , just sit in the classroom and pay attention”. That’s what I did for a while till I realize that was not working for me . This caused me so much pain because my family mostly didn’t realize my struggles with neglecting my education and mental health I told them multiple times. In my family they believe in tough love with a sprinkle of insult . When I entered a new high school i met my mentor . She pushed me out of my comfort zone in math , made me study all the time . She gave me a speech to never give up even when it seems hard because after that it’ll be a little easier . Everyday in class i would of got emotional while solving a problem correctly I made it a mission after that to push myself for more .
Hey Migdalia, I totally get the whole parents not understanding that you don’t understand, its something that I had to face a lot while growing up. But Im super proud of you with how you were able to grow and believe in yourself with that slight push from your mentor. Im sure you’ve made it a far way and that your family if proud of where you are as well.
Even through all that you still managed to pushed through because of your mentor. I’m sure you overcame alot of challenges before and you should be proud of it
MIgdalia: read the instructions again for this HW.
You should start with the quote from your own personal life, so:
My parents / people around me use to say “It’s not hard Migdalia , just sit in the classroom and pay attention”. That’s what I did for a while till I realize that was not working for me . This caused me so much pain because my family mostly didn’t realize my struggles with neglecting my education and mental health I told them multiple times. In my family they believe in tough love with a sprinkle of insult . [good phrase!] When I entered a new high school i met my mentor [WHO? give this important detail!] . She pushed me out of my comfort zone in math , made me study all the time . She gave me a speech [give these exact words.] to never give up even when it seems hard because after that it’ll be a little easier . Everyday in class i would of got emotional while solving a problem correctly [SHOW the readers, write a scene showing yourself getting emotional. SHOW by creating THEATRE OF THE MIND FOR THE READER] I made it a mission after that to push myself for more .
