National Reading Month Celebration Theme: "Outpouring Hearts and Minds Through English Proficiency and Literacy"

    We have a general sense that Book Stores or Book Shops are filled with things that are deeply important, but what exactly is literature good for? Why should we spend our time reading novels or poems when out there, big things are going on?
    Let's have a think about some of the ways literature benefits us. First, it saves our time. Of course, it looks like its wasting time, but literature is ultimately the greatest time-saver for it gives us access to a range of emotions and event that it would take us years, decades or millennia to try to experience directly. Second, it makes us nicer. Literature performs the basic magic of showing us what things look like from someone else point of view. It allows us to consider the consequences of our action on others in a way we otherwise wouldn't. And it shows us examples of kindly, generous and sympathetic people. Third, it's a cure for loneliness. We are weirder that we're allowed to admit. We often say what's really on our minds. But in books, we find descriptions of who we genuinely are and what events are actually like. In the best books it's as if the writer knows us better than we know ourselves. They find the words to describe the fragile, weird and special experiences of our inner lives. Writers open our hearts and minds and give us maps to our own selves so that we can travel in them more reliably and with less of a feeling of paranoia and persecution.
     It is very important to instill in the minds and hearts of children at their young age the value of reading for once he or she develops the passion of reading, other skills will follow. Let us be reminded that reading is still an aspect of life that we should not neglect at all times. As the writer Emerson remarked, "In the works of great writers, we find our own neglected thoughts".
     This November is the scheduled month for the English Month Celebration. The English Club together with its affiliate is conducting many activities in order for the students to enhance their English potentials.

Equal RIGHTS...Equal OPPURTUNITIES

    Equality between men and women is one of the fundamental principles of community law. But before, women did not have the right to be in the same level as men. It has always been like that since decades.

     People always thought that women had to do all the hard work at home and carry their children while men were working and getting paid. They considered women as weak and dependent people and men as the strong ones who were able to accomplish everything. Women are asking for equality because they don’t want to be dependent and they claim their equality with men. Actually, men are stronger physically and more rational in situations but it does not mean that a woman can’t accomplish what a man is able to do.
     Everyone should be treated equally no matter what your gender, race, height, religion, weight or amount of education. Gender and skin color can’t decide the equality. God created everyone to be equal and that is how we should keep it. Everyone should have equal rights so that everyone will be given equal opportunity to prove his or her worth as a human being.
