The following quote is the epitome of what drives me to belong to the language and literacy program. As John F. Kennedy so eloquently puts it: "Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength of the nation.”
This quote takes me back to a specific question that was posed to me on the first day of my very first language and literacy course. The question was “why did you choose the language and literacy program?” While in my heart I knew that becoming a reading specialist was what I desired, I really did not have a “solid” response. Today I do. I think that I’ve always known that my passion was reading. I just never could understand why it wasn’t everyone else’s. I now know that I chose the language and literacy program because I truly do have private hopes and dreams to utilize my developed abilities to romance the people of Guam so that they too can find their love for reading like the way I do.

Darlene, I am so inspired..I think you chose the right graduate profession to head into. You are are a great asset to the Langauge and Literature Program. I myself knew that from the very beginning that I wanted to be in the Langauge and Literature Program because I am very fond of reading and it is what that interests me.
ReplyDeleteDar,
ReplyDeleteIt brings me great pride (and joy!) in knowing that there are still bookworms in existence, especially in our local community. We seem to be a dying breed, but it should not hinder us from pushing on and pushing forward in creating this pure love for reading with our students.
I love the image you used, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you are headed in the right direction. I'm glad you chose the Language and Literacy Program. You have a passion to read and sure enough your passion will be that of others around you.
