Part B: 
I did have a passion for writing when I was younger, l used to write creative stories all the time. Online too. As I’ve gotten older I kind of fell out of writing but I still remember that excitement I used to get when my teacher would tell us we were doing a creative writing project. For reading, I have always loved to read. As a child I struggled with reading and went to reading class for a little bit. I love how reading will take you to another world and I love the fantasy that reading brings. I used to go to the library as a child and check out a bunch of books every few weeks or so. Reading is a passion I still have to this day. 
Part C:
The program would benefit me because I am currently a teacher and this program allows me to keep doing the job I love while going to school to further my career and my knowledge about teaching. The program would benefit my goals because I have been hearing from my colleagues how COVID really impaired a lot of students literacy and are below level in reading and literacy. In my career, I want my students to have the
opportunity to find the love of reading for themselves like I did when I was around their age.
Having this degree would allow me to have knowledge of how to teach children to read and also benefit my educator career because it makes me more informed and able to teach kids to the extent they deserve. I would love to be able to bring the passion for reading and writing that I had at their age and give it to them and this program would only help me to do that.
