  9. Hello my name is Doris Coreas. I am a mother of 3 kids and I have a dog. Positive things I have with reading and writing is that I understand what I’m reading and writing. Negative is math because math is really hard for me to understand. I hope to improve in the future with math and get better at reading and writing.
