Obviously I had gone all through high school and into college, and you don't do that not knowing how to read.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't learn how to read until I was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back.
I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.
But to this day - I'm very literate now, I love to read, I read constantly - words don't resonate the way they do to a person with a formal education. They're like a maze, a puzzle that has to be opened up.
I wasn't a very good student in elementary school and had a hard time with reading and writing.
Well, I can't remember not being able to read. I was told I could read by myself very well at the age of three.
It got so bad that by the time I was graduated, the only reading I did was in order to get the grade and the only writing I did was in order to get the grade.
College isn't the only answer. Reading is a college that you can and should attend all your life.
I had never attended high school, but I was fairly well read.
I didn't go to school much, so I taught myself what I knew from reading.
Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.
