THE LIBRARY
For people who have the passion of reading and writing, the library is a good refuge. (I’ve mentioned something like this in my second blog entry: nice to meet me!) Anyway, in my younger days, as in my grade school days, I never visited the library. In high school, I visited it more often because it’s where my intelligent classmates where! They often times share their assignments! I only borrowed a book once (except for my textbooks of course, those were required) in my research subject (that was a requirement as well). So there I was, I never really took good use of the library in my eleven-year stay in my school. I was young and didn’t realize the value of reading. Maybe the people in school and at home taught me the benefits of reading but stubborn as I am, I never bothered to go and explore the library. I only started to appreciate reading when I went to college, where the library is an open one. Where you have the freedom to choose books that excites your passion. Today, I still have that burning passion in me, that’s why I often go to the National Library or even spend hours in a bookstore at the mall.
Reading is a very good tool for someone to succeed. It pays when you know a lot! Someday, I dream of putting up a library in my place, where everyone can make good use of the learning materials inside. It will be a wonderful way to encourage learning. There will be the traditional sections and a reading area for kids!
Well, I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
