I come from a country that has some similarities and differences with the United States in the education system. One of my government's main priorities is literacy; which means being able to read. My governments have encouraged people to be able to read in different ways. Literacy is the key to education. I can read two languages, English and Arabic. My journey started when I was five and a half years old with learning Arabic, then I started learning English when I was 11 or 12 years old. In Introduction to College Writing, Benjamin R. Barber, an American political theorist and author, said: "On September 8, the day most of the nation's children were scheduled to return to school, the Department of Education Statistics released a report, commissioned by Congress, on adult literacy and numeracy in the United States. The results? More than 90 million adult Americans lacked simple literacy” (228). This is how we start school in my country. I started primary school in Arabic when I was five and a half years old in 1987. I still remember my first day of school; it's the first day I came into contact with the outside world which I don't know as well as my family. The Arabic alphabet class was the beginner's class, which made me feel like I was becoming as old as our neighbor's daughter, Mizna, who was two years older than me. Since my grandparents are illiterate; my grandparents are a Bedouin family, Bedouins live in the desert and they raise camels, sheep and goats, they didn't want me to be like them. When I was seven years old, my grandfather would bring a newspaper every day and ask me to read him the headlines and he would give me dates. In the same way, my grandmother asked me to read a short sentence from the sacred book. At that time, I didn't know that my grandmother didn't read... in the middle of an article... or in subjects and they become more difficult for me. But now, with the help of my friends and my books, I have overcome this challenge and am now able to understand and speak to my friends in this language. Early in my life, my perception was that English was not a compulsory language, it was just a subject, so I didn't pay any attention to it. But now my perception has changed that English is mandatory in all walks of life and with the help of this language we can achieve our goals and interact with everyone easily. I learned many things from my university and had a wonderful experience with the interaction of different types. of people. With all my life experience, I conclude that a person should experiment with different languages ​​over time. Because knowledge can change a person's life and give them the confidence to move forward. .
