In a world full of bright screens and endless videos, the quiet habit of reading a book can feel old-fashioned. Yet I believe books remain one of the greatest treasures a student can own. A good book is a patient teacher and a loyal friend that asks nothing in return.
Reading widens our knowledge and sharpens our language, imagination, and concentration. Through pages, we travel to distant lands, meet great minds from history, and learn ideas that took others a lifetime to discover. A student who reads regularly thinks more clearly and writes more beautifully.
Books also shape our character. Stories of courage, honesty, and kindness quietly change the way we see the world. In our library and digital resource centre, a whole universe waits to be explored.
I encourage all my friends to read a little every day — not only our textbooks, but storybooks, biographies, and newspapers too. The more we read, the more we grow.
