1 Word...


Describing myself in one word… SUPPORT That’s who I am and that is what I do. I actually didn’t chose this word. It was revealed to me. It represents who I am. I am a lot of things to a lot of people. I am a wife, mother, worship leader, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, granddaughter, daughter in law, god mother, friend, niece, and educator… just to name a few! But, in all these titles, I have found one common thread. Support! I am constantly providing support to everyone. 


If support were an acronym for me, it would be

S-Shape- I shape the external form, appearance and characteristics of others

U-Unmask- I expose true potential that is hidden

P-Provide- I make connections for resources available to those in need

P-Produce- I yield results; making what seems impossible come into existence

O-Observe- I am watchful, paying careful attention to those closest to me

R-Reform- I assist those around me in redirecting with the intention of setting them on the right path

T-Transcend- I surpass all limits; going beyond the range of what is currently available.



Support relates to literacy in the secondary school because the acronym demonstration carries the same message that I want to deliver and demonstrate to my students. It is my life’s vision to demonstrate support to those who need it. This semester, I intend to be a column of strength for my peers by offering encouragement as we all progress toward our various paths in life. Offering a kind word or a smile, and sometimes a hug will go a long way.

Thinking and Writing

Reaching into Memory Most often students are made to write from a prompt. It is not always the easiest thing to do. Being made to elaborate on a topic or subject that you may know nothing about can seem a bit overwhelming to a reluctant writer. There is no connection to the topic. Reaching into a memory allows the student to think about something from their past, and to relive the moment. Be it a good memory, or a not-so-good one, the student has the tools they need to complete the request. There is no judgment on what is written, only that they wrote it. the student may feel more confident in their ability to write something well and is now willing to share from the heart. I would introduce this type of assignment to my students by having them to take out their writing notebook to prepare and then give them a moment to reach back into their memories and grab a memory of a memorable experience. Once they grab this memory, I would have them to accept the fact that this happened ...
