Reading and Writing Process

It’s probably weird to say, but I came from a background where education was a little different from now. I was born on Cape Verde Island in the 70s in a country that just took their Independence from a Colonist in 1975(Cape Verde was Colonized by Portuguese). The System was very much Portuguese. The country was still trying to rebuild by nominated are own President, created are own Constitution. Figured out the Economy Education Jobs. People did not have freedom of speech or express themselves against the Superiors. Although I grew up in a household with both parents being teachers, we did not have access to writing or reading. It was very rare to find books. I do remember going to the trash and getting pages of books that people threw out to read, and at that time I used to like to read. Today there’s so many writers Poets and readers all over the country. It was not until I came to this country that I realized how the system is here. How school Parents Institutions invest in writing and reading especially as a young human being.  I am not a reader or a writer, I mostly read as an adult, and it is church book inspired and it does take me a long time to finish a book if it’s not interest. The book I prefer to read is Memoir. And I do not like to write. And my dream is going back to my country and opening a Library.
