The first official test I felt like I took was when I had to take my ELA State Exams around 3rd grade. I always remember when the teacher would tell us, "You have to know this, it'll be on your state exams". I remember the bubble sheets and the #2 pencils being given.

The reading log was another way I encountered literacy. The reading log was used to write down the books we read. It had our book title, the number of hours we read, the pages we read, and our parents' signatures. The reading log was designed to ensure that students read at least one book at home. I remember there being an incentive that whoever read the most books would get an award. I also remember there being reading medals for every 10 books that were read.

Junie B. Jones was my next book in my literacy journey. I remember reading this book in 4th - 5th grade because it was my first book that I actually liked. She kept me entertained during times when I was bored.

I got a phone when I was in middle school. Texts and posts I would read were considered literacy to me. I would have apps like KIK, Snapchat, and more.

Wattpad is an app on the phone where you are able to read other people's books that they write and publish. This is another form of literacy in my life which I still use in the present.

In high school, I remember taking the Regents exam for ELA. I would read a paragraph given and fill in bubbles for my answer. The very last part would be an argumentative essay we had to complete with evidence.

In high school, I read Farenheight 451. I liked it because it talked about the importance of books and how the characters in the book didn't want it to be accessible to the people.
