Last summer I went through a training program and became a volunteer teaching people how to read. When I          what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I began to realize the true        of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year- old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest          twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule. She told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had         once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always         the things that she really needed.           she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only         items by sight.
We worked hard together, learning how to build Marie’s        , which encouraged her to        in her studies. She began to make rapid         and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this       trip, she told me how self-confident she felt.         the end of the program, she began       her youngest son with his reading. She sat with him before he went to        and read bedtime stories. When his eyes became        with excitement as she read,         was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as      . I found that helping Marie to build    _  self-confidence was very rewarding.
I learned a great deal about    and helping others and I may have learned more from the       than Marie did.
