Eng 015 - Literacy Narrative

...

Within two weeks, I had finished reading prophecies of Messiah, Daniel and Jeremiah. I found myself surprised and amazed by my abilities to read and understand so quickly. On Sundays we were allowed to go to religious services and pray. I also started going to Sunday Protestant church along with other trainees to learn more and more about religion Christianity and have in depth knowledge about future predictions of prophets. I went to other Christian trainees asking to help me to understand The Holy Bible in complexity. Also I wanted to know more about birth, life and legacy of Jesus and how prophets often warned the Israelis to apologize of their sins with the threat of punishment or reward. They helped with no hesitation at all; in fact they loved and enjoyed discussing the Holy Bible about prophecies of prophets and Holy Bible. Some words from Holy Bible were also helpful in staying inspired and motivated throughout painful training days. “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth by Timothy 2:15” was truly helpful. After I finished reading Holy Bible I came to conclusion, I thought of Holy Bible as story, a story about God and God’s messengers throughout past.

After reading Holy Bible I found reading as a power to understand the perspective of others more clearly and precisely. Reading can also sometimes be inspiring and encouraging. Literacy is one of the most important keys to excel in education and help others as well. Reading and writing also helps reader to understand narrator precisely.

In conclusion, literacy is one of the most important keys to flourish in education, understand and help others. My own personal experience from US Army basic training and from middle school reflects how important and necessary literacy development is in order to understanding, believing and knowing others. It is also way too necessary to have decent literacy with this modernizing and changing civilization every day, people must keep up with reading and writing in order to succeed.
