1. passionate, creative, curious
2. My favorite teacher taught me the value of tenacity and resilience in the face of adversity, and it was one of the most profound lessons I have ever learned. Setbacks are opportunities for learning and growth, a belief my teacher instilled in me through their unwavering support and encouragement.
3.Yes, the foundation of all learning activities is literacy. Beyond reading and writing, literacy enables people to comprehend, evaluate, and communicate successfully in a variety of contexts and subjects. Strong literacy abilities are essential for understanding scientific texts, solving mathematical puzzles, and engaging with historical narratives. They encourage the ability to think critically, solve problems, and pursue lifelong learning. Fundamentally, literacy is a gateway to knowledge, an ability to comprehend complexity, and a means of navigating the complex educational and non-educational environments. It is not just a set of skills.

1. Passionate, Creative, Strategic, Committed
2. The teachers that I connected with all believed in the power of "yes" and that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
3. Do you agree that literacy is the foundation of all learning? Why or why not?
I agree that literacy is certainly the foundation for core subjects. However, there are so many things that we learn from observation and trial and error. For instance, I have played a musical instrument since I was seven years old and worked professionally as a musician for many years. The bulk of my knowledge and competence in that area came from observation and mimicking. Many years passed before I became a literate musician who could both read and write music. In my personal learning experience, it has been easier to 'reverse engineer.'

yes literacy is very impoortant, if you do not understand what your reading or studying than you will not retain anything.

Taking risks is the only way to learn.
Absolutely literacy is the foundation of all learning. We think and learn using language. Literacy means being fully functional in a language.
