The young men mastering literacy with ALTA

๐ƒ๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐
More than five months ago I decided today is the day to join ALTA. I still remember the first time I found out about ALTA. I was now entering Form 5 and my mom and I were talking about lessons.

I wanted to join lessons, but I was always concerned and thinking about the spelling problem I had. Then one day I was talking to her over the phone and she told me about her discovery of the ALTA classes. She asked me if I would be interested in it and I was.

On that first day at ALTA class I entered with a preconceived notion that it was only for persons with heavy literacy problems, but my opinion soon changed. I was also a little nervous because I did not know what to expect, but after a few minutes the feeling faded. The tutors were very calm and loving and they made me feel at ease.

Since that day I have been consistent with the ALTA class. Being in ALTA helped me so much with my writing, reading, spelling and improved my confidence too. Since joining, my grades got better and Iโ€™m heading into CXC better than I would have.

I had a strange feeling inside me the first time I went to sign up for ALTA. It was a mix of nervousness and hope, something inside me was saying this is an important step in my life, so I made the decision to go at the school where I heard ALTA was taking place.

The security at the school said to go to the library, the library assistant said there is no ALTA here. I felt emotionally exhausted, two noโ€™s in under three minutes. I didn't want to make a third try.

About eight years later I started to follow the ALTA page looking for new classes, new updates and any information I could find about ALTA.

In August 2025, I made an attempt at the Community Centre where the experience was much better than the last time. The security officer told me to come back in September when the class started back so I did.

Showing up to my first ALTA class, I remember feeling unsure, but also proud of myself for taking action towards my first little step to get a lot tomorrow.

I felt a little uncomfortable but also happy. As the days went by, I began to notice small changes. Five months later I could see that those small efforts were adding up. Every day I continued to grow little by little through practice and coming early to class. The little I was doing turned into a lot.

Thanks to ALTA now I can talk with more confidence and be better at understanding. I can plan my days and set small goals for myself instead of feeling overwhelmed. I am more motivated. As every tomorrow rolls into a new day, I now remind myself that progress starts with small steps. There are many tomorrows to come in my life. When I look ahead to my tomorrows, I see a future where I am confident, skilled and always improving.

To get "A LOT TOMORROW" I will continue adding little things to my today such as practicing my phonic sounds, revising my cards and following a simple day-to-day plan. By doing this I believe I am becoming the best version of myself one day at a time.

Reading is a basic necessity. It comes like water. You need to know how to read. Thatโ€™s why six months ago, I attended my first ALTA class.

My first little step I made to get a lot tomorrow was accepting that I would never be too old to learn. My sister attends ALTA classes online and she encouraged me to join ALTA to improve my reading skills. She and I did not have the opportunity to receive a proper education when we were younger. On that first day I felt excited and I made a promise to myself that I would attend all my classes.

I didn't know about phonics, but when I went into the class it was like a mind-blowing thing. We have really amazing teachers who are very understanding and kind. If it is you didnโ€™t know, you learn. My kids are proud of me and they say, "Mum, you didn't have a chance and now yuh get the chance."

Every day since that today when I came to ALTA, I am seeing the difference in myself and I can see the improvement in my reading. I feel that a new door has opened for me. All thanks to ALTA as every tomorrow rolls into a today, I now have the privilege to receive a proper education.

There are many tomorrows to come in my life. I look ahead to my tomorrows and I see a future where at the end of my ALTA classes I will receive excellent results. I believe that if I put in all the effort and hard work today, that I will achieve my goal of becoming a councillor to fulfil my purpose of transforming peopleโ€™s lives in my community. Success at ALTA is very important for my future tomorrow.

About five months ago, I decided that today is the day to join ALTA. I could not help my daughters with their homework and I realized that I donโ€™t know what is being taught in schools now because it is different from what I learned when I went to school myself. I had seen the ALTA ads on television and made that first little step to get a lot tomorrow by coming to class in October.

On that first day of ALTA class, I was anxious because I felt like a child going to school for the first time. On another today later on, I learned to spell and pronounce words. We did group activities which helped me to become more confident and competitive. Ever since that today, when I came to ALTA, I opened my mind to receive knowledge in order to gain more insight tomorrow. I believe that I can read much better than I could before.

Over many tomorrows, the little I was doing on every today turned into a lot. By interacting with my class peers and teachers, we became a family outside my internal family. On many todays, we shared knowledge, skills, problem solving and even parenting tips. The class refreshed skills I already learned or had forgotten, sharpening my intuition.

Learning today ensures a brighter tomorrow. I now feel I can be of greater benefit to my family and others. This small step I took to join ALTA will now help me to help my children with their school work. As every tomorrow rolls into a today, I now feel more confident dealing with situations and day to day problem solving.
