Robert Writes...
THIS IS MY FIRST STORY for this magazine.
Two years ago I would never have written a story about anything. Now I have joined the Adult Literacy Program I am keen to read and write because I didn’t have the opportunity when I was a young boy. Now I’m 66 years old and it shows you are never too old to learn.
Now with the help of the Adult Literacy program my reading and spelling have improved a lot and I am able to read some books. It has changed my life, it has make life a lot easier now I can read and write to my family. I feel proud of what I have done over the years.
I am going to Midland TAFE one day a week now. It is helping me a lot. The teachers have been a great help to me. They really do help you with your work if you need help. I also have a tutor from the Read and Write program who give me about two hours of his time a week. I would like to say a big “Thank you” to my tutor who is working with me. I would also like to say “Thank you very much” to all the people who have helped me to read and write — I am enjoying it a lot.
It is a good program and all the students feel the same as I do. It is a very big help to us in our lives and makes us want to learn and helps us for the future.
