Why do we read?

Everyone reads because then they know more words. If reading didn't exist then that means that words don't exist. People who wrote books had to put words in it. The words …make stories for other people. We read because it also helps us get in to better colleges. Most of the colleges want the people who can read. If reading didn't exist then that means nothing exist because in math, science, social studies and even when we speak we have to use words. Reading is very important in other peoples' lives. Reading is important to me because it helps me get better at everything else that has to do with reading. If there weren't any reading in the whole world then the world would be blank. Reading is the most important thing to do when there is nothing else to do. Reading is just like a movie or T.V. show in your head. So if you want to watch T.V. changes your mind and read because it's the same thing except you get to use your own characters and plot. We read because you can read what you want to know about that you are urged to learn about. It keeps you occupied when you are traveling or going somewhere. It expands your vocabulary. It improves your spelling. It helps you understand different ways of life. It helps you understand different ideas. It helps you learn to communicate. It helps us find other people like ourselves. It can be fun to read new stories and find out what happens. It expands your imagination. It helps you know what other people know, so that instead of repeating their mistakes and experiments, you can expand upon them and go farther as a community. Reading can make one learn not only languages but cultures. Reading can help you in a lot of things in the world. *EDIT Stupidly I quit school in the 10th grade so I could work. I found school boring, taking up too much of my time, and the courses they taught(and obviously still do) teach abundantly too many totally useless classes that have ZERO use in a normal kid's life once he/she leaves school and enters the wonderful*cough world of adulthood. English was a mandatory class, and when I left school I felt like my life was dependent on knowing what a dangling participle was. That was 22 years ago and to this day, not one person has asked me what one was, and not one interview for a job hinged on knowing. Schools teach absurd classes that sometimes I think they WANT kids to drop out, and then they pass the rest to the next grade whether they're really ready or not. Going back to English classes for a second. Look at how many kids graduate, but they do it with the aptitude of a 4th grader. They graduate from the school system's assembly line way of "educating" kids and they hit the streets speaking "Ebonics". Reading helps to overcome the handicap that schools put on almost every kid they push through the system. Find out what they(or you) like, and let 'em read about it. They more they read, the more they're educating themselves and they like it. It might inspire them to REALLY become something the schools never gave them...inspiration and dreams. Reading will help get 'em there, no doubt. With my whole 10 years worth of school, I'll certainly never be a brain surgeon, but I HAVE been offered several jobs just through conversations, (because I read a lot, actually an amazing amount) and I had all the right answers, and I learned how to give that "wow factor" they wanted. Of course once they found out I had no college, they were still amazed, and it was all due to my reading...my desire to educate myself on as much as I could in life. It's paid off in many many ways. I'm in no way saying a kid should quit school, but IF they do, get them to read. It could be the best singular thing they'll ever do with their life! Take it from someone who's "been there, done that" and retired early..very early! ;) (MORE)
