My Career as a Reader
I consider reading a very important part of life, because without it, we would be in a hospital, in a fatal position, or even dead because we can’t read. We need to read the street signs, the menu in a restaurant, for learning in school as well as get past in life.

If we do not read the street signs and be careful, we may die or kill someone by accident because we are going over the allowed speed limit. We may be banned from a place for smoking because we did not read the sign and the owners banished us. I also find reading a good exercise for my brain as well as to help me relax and spend my time. If I was at a party I do not want to be at but got dragged to anyway and I am bored or tense, I can just whip out a book if I have it with me, sit down on a chair of sofa and start to read. I can just whip a book out of my backpack and read on a ride to school or home if I am bored. Reading books has always helped me relax as well as teach me about life as I like books with morals on life.

Books can teach us about what we want or need to learn about such as how to cope with separation or divorce, how to sew, food recipes and fun games. Books is both educational and enjoyment. I have always depended on reading to help me get past by in life because I will be doing lot more reading because I will need to write on a piece of paper to communicate with hearing people and get written replies in return so it is more easier than trying to use gestures.

I have often held in a laugh or just smile when people says they can’t wait till they finish high school, then they won’t need to read anymore. I generally think that is impossible to stop reading and that people have no idea how much humanity depend on reading. We read street signs, the menu in a restaurant, closed caption, subtitles, posters and well, everything! As I type this essay, I am reading what I am typing at the same time. We read what we write out as well, we can never survive without reading at all. I believe that everyone should learn how to read, no matter what the reason because reading is very very important in life, I can never emphasis just exactly how much it is an important part of life. If we do not read, we would be very behind in the news, the new things, never to buy anything, never to sell anything because everything depends on reading, even math and art. Yes, even sport-related things depend on reading. No matter how much we argue about reading, EVERYTHING depends on it.
