I Learned to Read as Until 8 Year Old, Why?

I Didn’t Learn to Read Until I Was 8 Years Old, Why?

I didn’t learn to read until I was 8 years old. Why? I have several different reasons.

EL Tecuan Ranch, where I lived, was far away from cities. At that time, the roads were made from gravel and sand. We had a small school, but often we had no teachers. No teachers lived in our town.

The teachers took a bus to our town. They often arrived late to teach my class. And the teachers didn’t teach for very long. Also, the teachers went out on strike for long periods of time. They protested in Morelia, the capitol of Michoacán.

Also, the teachers were very lazy. They only came to our school a few days a week. Sometimes they came three days a week. Sometimes they never came.

The teachers were fanatics.

Now, in 2007, the teachers belong to a movement in Mexico City. They say that the government has stolen their money and violated their rights. They protest about ISSSTE laws.

They really don’t have any reason to protest because the new laws are intended to shelter their retirement.


Please write a last paragraph that connects (and summarizes) to the title of the story.

I learned to read as Until 8 year old. Why? Because I have to different reason, number once is my EL Tecuan Ranch is far away of cities, so in this time roads, the ways were done gravel and sand. Second reason it is. A few people have had car and No there weren’t service bus. The bus came back twice a day. In the morning it was departure 8:00m am it arrive 2:00 pm but in this area there are many small town. The bus passed for different small towns so people were very poor they are sowing different cultivates as sorghum, corn, bean and wheat.
Third reason is the teachers arrived late to give of class. Other reason is the teachers not gave of the classes for long time but the teachers have struck for long time and they made to protests in the Michoacán Capital. The capital is Morelia. Others teachers were very lazy. But the teacher walked about one half hour because where bus it passed every one hour.
Last reason I think so I believe that I am not very intelligent. For long time Chain Family they were behind the movement in Mexico but they show to power in different groups or organization. The teachers don’t understand because many teachers are fanatic or they are feeling communists.
Now the teachers have to movement in Mexico City also they said that government have stolen their money and to violate their right. Them they made to protests about ISSSTE laws they haven’t reason in theses protests because new law it is pretend to shelter their jubilation or retirement.
Now the way and road are making of asphalt then it is a mix of petroleum, gravel and sand also many people have had cars and truck. The buses are passing in different schedule.
