I have had many literacy sponsors in my life.  The biggest sponsor of this would have to be my parents.  I Believe that our parents are the first to educate us in our early lives.  They teach us things like manners and how to speak or language.  My father really pushed for academic success being that he never went to college.  My earliest memory was of him saying “get good grades and you’ll get to go to college.”  He still to this day calls me once or twice a week to check up on my academic adventures.  The next sponsor, I would say, would have to be schooling.  I attended both catholic and public schools through my years of elementary and high school.  I can say that the catholic schools taught me very good morals like how to be obedient, civil, and caring.  The Cleveland Public schools I attended were also nice.  Being smart and tough was a necessity.  Another main literacy sponsor I would have to say would be sports teams.  My parents put me in many athletic programs while I was growing up.  My coaches taught me the value of hardwork, determination, and consistency, though recently I’ve been struggling through the consistency part (earlier absences).

I feel that my access to these sponsors has been fairly adequate.  I mean they have helped a lot but it’s up to me to retain their lessons and learn as an individual.  I wish I was more technological savvy.  The Wiki assignment defiantly helped a bunch, but that is only a minor part of the whole technological world.  Recently, I’ve battling against self control.  But it’s a fight that I’m winning now.
