My definition of literacy hasn’t changed this the last time we blogged about it. But I’m sure as I continue my college career I will continue to learn about literacy and my definition will change and I will understand it better. In my future classes I will probably use literacy in many different ways and learn different things about it from different teachers. Understanding literacy will help me in my future classes.

I have had many different experiences and so has just about everybody else in the world. I have learned many different things from my experiences to but all my experience haven’t been the same as other peoples experiences. So what I have learned from my experiences I could help the people going through the same experiences by telling them what I did or should not have done. I would tell them what I learned from my bad experiences so they won’t make the same mistakes that I did.

I see a lot of different connections between my classes because each one is different from each other. As of right now I am taking a history class, a math class, and this passport class. These connections could benefit me in the future in many different ways I believe because although each of the classes is different from one another you are learning something different from each of them. What you learn from each of them is something I will continue to use as I continue my college career.

I would say that some of my expectations have been met and exceeded while there are still some that I have yet to achieve that have maybe been altered a bit. My biggest realization is that that I have grown up a lot as a person and I have met new people that I consider really good friends. I have also realized that going to Morningside for college was truly a good decision for me even if it is quite a long ways from home. But I also set a few long term goals that I will continue to reach for and hope to attain in the next four years. As far as answering the questions I asked in the earlier blog a lot of those are yet to be determined. I think that since Ihave been here not even one full semester many of my questions will need further examination and figuring out. But so far I am happy with where I am and can’t wait for new situations and experiences coming my way.

I believe that literacy is the ability to be able to read and write and then be able to comprehend those things. I think that literacy depends on what you want to come across like in Dirk’s article he talks about the different genres and how that changes how a person writes. For example, people who like country music get a different interpretation of the music than a person who doesn’t like country music would probably get.

What my professors expect from me is to show up to class on time, let them know ahead of time that I will be gone if I have to miss a day for some reason. If you need help don’t be afraid to ask. Most of the professors are here to help you. They may be tough professors and force you to do things that you don’t want to do but don’t be afraid to ask for help. All professors probably have different things that they expect from each of there students or from the class that they are teaching. I approach my classes to do the best that I can do in them. Some of them are or could be easy for me and I’ll fly right through them, but then there are the classes that I will struggle in. I just have to do the best that I can and if I need help I need to go it.
