Reading Brings Knowledge
Do students come to
college just to say that they
completed a degree or do they
come to seek knowledge for
self improvement? Do you
want to learn about the world
in which we live?
If you look through the
library you will easily find that
are books 10 years and older
in the library that have never
been checked out. The lack of
reading done at this university
is surprising. Does anyone
read anything unless it is
assigned ?
Have we forgotten that
blood was shed for African-
American students to have the
right to even attend school?
Not long ago, African-
Americans were not allowed
to be taught to read or write!
In Frederick Douglass'
autobiography, he stated that
he was not allowed to be
educated. His master's wife
taught him to write and say the
alphabets. Later she stopped
teaching him because it was
against the law for slaves to
read and write.
He continued to read,
listened to people talk and
pronounce words on his own.
Frederick Douglass was a man
who did not stop reading no
matter what.
Parents and grandparents
are responsible for teaching
their children how to read and
understand the significance of
reading.
Teachers arc also
responsible. They have the
ability to motivate students
when parents fail to or can't
do so. They are guides when
students are not sure which
way to go.

We as students, parents
and future parents must
understand that reading is

horizons. We must also

Students also have the
responsibility to motivate
themselves. They must help
their parents, grandparents and
teachers, who can't do it
alone. They must want to
know about the world in which
they live.
exposed to things we might
never sec or visit.
We must read not just
what is assigned to us; we
must read other books for
knowledge. “Knowledge is
power.”
