- Summary:
-
This document, written in the first person, describes the history and feelings of a woman who was functionally illiterate as an adult but who, having learned to read, is now a student at Rancho Santiago Community College District in Orange, California. This "open letter" urges teachers to support and encourage students with similar problems, rather than talking about the seriousness of the students' problems or telling them that their education "is up to you." It states that the support and encouragement of other students is helpful, as well. The letter closes with thanks to teachers and friends who helped. (CML)
