I am Alejandro. This year, Dr. Johnson created many articles from the Literacy Blueprint Narratives for me to read and learn. I have enjoyed reading the articles because they were mostly about me. One article that was really inspiring is the article the showed me that I have courage and could do anything. Every since I read that article, I started to believe more and more in myself. Some people didn't think I would do good this year. I have been really good on all of my classwork and tests this year.
