Literature Class

After reading the book and watching a documentary and a ted talk, I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears on how different the school system is. It is different with the way we as students are taught and different in where we learn and with whom. In the ted talk the woman talked about she was different from others; attending a school where she had an enormous chance and future at an education but also realized that the kids in her neighborhood went to the public schools and the reason to this is that many parents do not believe in the public school system. They believe that the education received in a public school can be compared to the one where those who pay, pay out of pocket.

 Hello to everyone in this class, my name is Diana Rivera I am senior at NJCU and my major is Psychology. My interests include doing yoga, traveling, eating new cultural food, and helping out my community as much as I can with the help of my friends and those I am close with. The reason I took this class was because of the course description it really surprised me of how literacy and books can be a powerful move. By this I mean books hold almost all of what we know and sometimes a good book can just make it or break while you're learning because it is what sticks with you most of your life time.  My first part of literature was a poetry book from my older sister.
