My reason for joining the READ Center is that I want to be more independent with my life. When someone is illiterate, they are missing out on a lot in their lives. When a person can pick up a book and read it from cover to cover and pronounce every word correctly, they can learn a great deal. That is my goal one day. Before I joined the READ Center, my reading skills were very poor. Now I can do my reading on my own. Thanks to the READ Center and the teacher and tutors also. I think I can speak for my classmates as well. We really do appreciate all the help you guys are giving us. Thank you all so very much.
