About This Quote
I will always remember the day that I was given the opportunity to learn. I was lucky, because I had a great teacher who helped me develop my reading skills. This teacher taught me how to read and write, and he made me want to read more about different subjects. He encouraged me to borrow books from the public library, so that I could learn even more.
He showed me how important it is for people to read for their own education. That’s why I will always be grateful for my teacher.
