Sponsors Of Literacy

My primary literacy sponsor was and is to this day by far my family. Nearly everything thing I have learned about academic, religious, and civic topics has come from my family. I was home schooled from my first day of school up until my first day of high school. So, my sponsors in my literacy were clearly my family. Due to my sponsorship being such a small and limited group until so late in life you would think it would be detrimental and unhealthy but coming from such a large family of seven children created diverse and somewhat powerful sponsors. Most of my family has married out of the state and also out of the country so those specific addition of sponsorship have also shaped me as an individual. The only literacies which I feel as which I have been withheld from slightly is the civil literacy category. I grew up in a small town and my views on government and diversity might be slightly skewed from that of a person from perhaps New York City, but I don’t feel cheated or upset about it. Rather I am proud of my heritage and the sponsorship which I have received. I might be a little narrow mind, conservative, and “radical” about God and Christianity in others eyes but in my town I’m just like every other person. Having a more diverse sponsorship would be helpful perhaps in making me a more well-rounded and effective writer but other than that I don’t see or feel a lack of knowledge and development as an individual on a literacy view point.
