Sponsors of Literacy

In "Sponsors of Literacy" Brandt suggests that our literacies are shaped and crafted throughout our lives through various "socioeconomic" situations.  She also states that our literacies are shaped by our sponsors in our lives, or the "figures who turned up most typically in people's memories of literacy learning: older relatives, teachers, priests, supervisors..." basically anyone you look up to that influences what you do.  My parents are definitely my largest sponsors; they taught me more than anyone else has to date, and shaped me to be who I am toady.  They however are not my only influential sponsors.  My public school experience with not only 12 years of teachers and learning facts, but 12 years of learning social skills and extending my shape to be what it is today.  These sponsors have been and are still a big part of my life and have been more than adequate.  I have always wanted to learn the language of 3-D graphics, like creating and programming flash movies or creating a virtual environment for video games.  Would not mind being literate in video game designing and creating at all.
