Why is learning important to you?

My name is Obel Todd. I'm 91 years. I come to understand that reading is key in my life. Without reading I have no understanding of what is going on because all I can Without reading, I only hear somebody say something and I'll go with that. But when you can read for yourself you will understand what it is all about. So I'm so thankful to God and to my teacher and everybody here at the library who helped me to able to read and write at this time of my life.
