Now that I can read I listen. Now I want to vote." Because she now reads, Gladys voted for the first time at the age of 48. She, along with her tutor Yvonne, celebrated the achievement of a g goal. students to are like learn but want to read, Many Gladys waiting for a tutor to take lime to assist them.
