I'm not an A student; I'm not even a B student, but I've gotten a lot better with the reading because of texts. And I can voice-text and say whatever I want to people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once in a while, I have the chance to speak to students. I learn from them as much as they learn from me. It's a great dialogue to create.
Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.
I was a good student, but a speech impediment was causing problems. One of my teachers decided that I couldn't pronounce certain words at all. She thought that if I wrote something, I would use words I could pronounce. I began writing little poems. I began to write short stories, too.
I've always maintained that I see myself as a student. There's always something to learn and be challenged by and hopefully grow from.
I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.
I see myself as more of a student, that I love to get down into the weeds of different problems and try to go through that. I don't mind messaging, but I'm going to default back to the research side of things.
I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.
I was always a good student, but I didn't read that much until I was 18 and I was working my way through college.
Anyone who teaches knows that you don't really experience a text until you've taught it, in loving detail, with an intelligent and responsive class.
In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.
