for A-plus Writer

In several countries reading is important to them and it becomes a daily routine and they specify hours each day so they have time to read and I think that is a cultural thing. Unfortunately, my country is not that type of cultural to motivate you to be a reader. When people asked me what books have you read before and when I answer I have never read a book in my whole life they got amazed! And they think I was joking and I say seriously I hate reading. My mother is librarian I remembered when I was 8 years old she always brought me stories or novels to read it to me before bed and I was escaping and hiding to avoid reading, she tried many times to help me to be reader but that did not works also she had another way of teaching which is she read and want me to repeat after her. Even in school we had reading class and it’s was boring to me but I was happy because I could not have the chance to read because the teacher would always go through names alphabetically and my name was at the end of the list. Each class the teacher would always start from the beginning of the list therefore the chance to read is low. Before I came to United States I was very concern about reading because I know to be in American University you have to read a lot and summarize and I never did that before. So before 5 month I barrowed a book from my friend called “Human Factor in Aviation” I read 1 chapter and I could not collect information’s I was forgetting every information I knew and once I flip to the next page I forget everything in the previous page, also in the middle of reading I got lost and that what I hate it about reading. Overall, I know reading means a lot for people they learn, discover and educated from it and of course it is useful .I hope someday I can be a reader person.

Writing is essential for some individuals they fill their free times writing because they think writing make them happy or improve thinking and have good communication with others. But one of the hardest thing to do is writing, I hated in Arabic I have hard time to express my feeling towards something. And it becomes much harder now in English. I always worried when I’m having assignment or paper to work on. Sometimes I cannot find the appropriate words. Also I’m afraid of the feedback from the professor he might disappointed me. Moreover, writing can be boring and takes time to explain or to convey specific details I spent around 4-6 hours each assignment and that’s a lot . When I was 8th grade we had strict teacher in writing class, he told us to write about a topic and you have only 30 minutes to finish. So the time started and do not have much to write I remembered the topic was boring, the majority of students were struggling and asked the teacher to change the topic but he refused. The time finished and he started to collect the papers and I was not writing enough. He put ZERO for this assignment and he insult us and slapped our hands, therefore I have phobia in writing. Thus, writing seems difficult for me and need much time to think and work on it, also it’s meaningless sometimes.

In Conclusion, many societies love to read and write and that is useful for them also they develop their skills and enhance the education and that will be a positive reflect to the country itself. I wish someday my country will encourage the citizen to read and write and inspire who have the passion of reading and writing. But doing something you are not comfortable with will always be not good us what you expect. Nevertheless, everything is difficult in the beginning and by taking the first step will reach to high success. I had several reason why I hated reading and writing but it does not mean I don’t want to learn them I might did not find way or someone who got the magic make me love them. Finally, I hope one day I can be good reader and better writer I know I’m challenging myself and will take times to be an excellent student and I believe nothing is impossible. And I do not want old story effect my future I’m still have to chance to improve these two skills.
