One important literacy sponsor in my life that I truly appreciate would be my Power-plant teacher Mr. Persad. He was exceptional, taught me everything I needed to know to about aviation when I attended Aviation High School(AVHS). Although I took 2 years of aviation courses before he’d be my teacher, the impact he had on the amount of aviation language that I was about to learn is mind boggling. Whenever, I would walk into his class I’d just absorb information like a sponge, so much that I never thought I was competent of learning. His rapturous lessons were extremely interesting and everything taught was in an innate pace.
In the beginning I was confused, lost quite frankly. However, he told me to be rein in a benign way. Then with his help, constantly correcting me, I started too memorized the aviation terminology and started to get hang on to things. After, continuously beating so many terms to death everyday whilst we’d hold and flip pages of this old yellow rough paged book and our necks would feel as if we had a scaly boa constrictor around our necks squeezing tightly whilst looking down at these books most of the period. Ultimately, I had become fluent in the aviation language realm.
Thanks for this, Eryk. It’s wild how our most stern and demanding teachers can become the ones toward which we ultimately feel the most love and loyalty.
