Then and now…
reading outlook
Before taking this course, reading was
something that I did when I had to and
not for enjoyment. I enjoyed reading
sports articles and newspaper clippings
but had always wanted to be able to sit
down and read a book and just get lost
in the material. My issue was that I
always had this perceived notion that I
had to read fast and finish the book in a
few days or I would look like a poor
reader. With that attitude, I avoided
reading books that would take longer
than one day. After taking this course, I
feel more confident that I have the tools
necessary to be a good reader and
understand that reading isn't always
about churning through books at high
speed. It's about understanding what
you're reading and taking the time you
need to do that.
