5-Findings

On my journey, I found a family not much different than my own in respect to interests and literacy. All of them value education and care about our environment as well as saving money to spend as a family and be together. Christina and I both use written recipes and we cook a variety of “ethnic” meals for our families. She has utilized higher education as a means to better her economic standing and fulfill her dreams of a respected occupation. Bill has found social interaction both at work and at home to be his source for the acquisition of English Language skills. When these skills did not help him with reading about maintenance and procedures for installation and/or repairs, he used his resources on the internet to find a strategy that worked for him, “You-Tube”. Language deficient aside, perhaps Bill may just a typical visual learner that has mastered a way to cope with his situation as many of them have in the past. As for internet shopping what a savvy way to find the best deals which we are all guilty of at times. Stephanie is the epitome of a typical teenager that reads lots of books. She enjoys many of the mainstream series and likes to boost her knowledge about the characters she enjoys the most. She is looking forward to her secondary education and has aspirations for her high school of choice as many young students do until they register with JCPS and gamble on their acceptance. Little Julietta is a fun-loving child that enjoys creative expression. She likes to visit the library and read new books whenever she gets the chance. Like many children her age she is excited about life and all of its possibilities. She is bilingual in every sense of the word now and that affords her the chance to be anything she wants to be and do anything she puts her mind to doing.
