James K. Forde - Literacy Unlimited

The Famous Red Pen

I want to shout the good news your way. I found a solution from remaining illiterate. I know you, the reader, are feeling that you're in the same boat too, but I have found a way out. I will tell you that I went back to school. It was right for me. I was 48 years old but believed that school would teach me the basics. I felt that I could slowly grow and learn to read and write. I'm staying in school and having a good time because I have a good teacher. He uses his red pen a lot, but makes me do better. It's hard seeing all of the corrections because of the use of his red pen. I hope one day I will throw away the red pen, and all my words will be correct. That will be a great day for me, and I will jump up for joy because I spelled all the words correctly by myself. I thank Literacy Unlimited so much for all the help they give me.

P.S. I love Literacy Unlimited and the special people in the school. Thank you.
