Testimonial
of an adult learner
from San Mateo County Project Read
"Project
Read has truly been a blessing to me. I cant say enough about
the program. The staff is so wonderful in the way they welcome learners.
The program could not exist without the beautiful people we call
tutors who give their time, skills and love by helping adults improve
their reading skills. Reading is a wonderful gift. Fear, shame,
embarrassment and the word "dumb" kept me in the darkness for many
years. But deep in my soul I knew I could improve my reading skills,
so I began pushing out of the darkness and replacing it with light.
This brought me to Project Read. Now I feel great about myself.
Not only am I able to read better, but I have stuck with the program
and have learned so much more than I ever dreamed was possible.
It wasnt easy all the time. Things got tough, but my tutor
would encourage me to keep on the path and the end results would
pay off. The happiest times now are when I can curl up with a good
book, read each page to the end and then share it with someone else.
I also enjoy being able to write a Thank You note or letter to a
friend or jot down my memories in my journal." Frankie
