I would like to share a few decisions that I have made while living in my new house.

The businesses aspect of a not for profit society has become an obstacle I want to focuses my attention where I can be successful

This part of my advocacy work has always held me back.   The anxiety I have regarding paper work and my lack of confidence surrounding my ability to read and write is the main reason.

I know that I can do the work involved but I have begun to resent it for draining me and needing my attention and distracting me form thing that I am good at.I will continue with my book and uphold the mission and goals of the IAAL as an activist and artist

I hope to find the support of an existing educational group and apply for grants and funding as an individual

I has been not been easy  to give up on a project that means so much to me but I am ready to find a different way

So good bye IAAL and hello Tina BC McInerney

 

 

   Today I am embark on my mission to share what I have discover about reading.

My Prison of illiteracy
by Tina McInerney

BC Teachers Strike
Could it get any better? Not for me it couldn’t. You see I hate school a lot. I can turn the bullying into something funny by making the kids laugh. I am good at doing impressions of the teachers and making faces like Jim Carry. And I am really good at imitating a person that can read.
Teachers Strike
Could it get any better? Not for me. Now I will have more time to be normal I will be able to spend the day do the things that I am really good at. More time for singing and writing songs. With out school I will be able to work on the miniature garden I am building. No schools means I can make candles, bake cakes, sew costumes, ride my bike, and drive my dad’s boat for him when he goes fishing
Teachers Strike
Could it get any better? Not for a person like me that can’t read. Maybe by the time the strike is over they will have found out what’s wrong with me. Maybe the strike will never end and I will never have to go back to school

all aspects

what I wore

thing I saw

people I met

if it was sunny and hot

or if it was raining a lot
