Why I Like the Literacy Program

by Heather Rumsey

I like the literacy program because it gives me something to do. I learn basic reading skills, budgeting skills and time management. I also learn computer skills. I complete exercises on the computer. Computer skills also help me with completing my essay. I like the learning experiences and this gives me purpose to improve my life.

In my opinion, this is the best program to be in.
