The ultraviolet (UV) radiation released by the welding arc struck my eyes as I walked in the pathway of our school.

Whenever I see the welder’s flash of the Grade 12 students, I could vividly recall the luminous angle of my dreams – that is to be a proficient reader. I can’t help but to wonder about the vast knowledge that I can gain when I offer my entire system in the world of reading.

As I gazed at the class schedules, my naked eyes made me realize the importance of their superpowers in their skills. The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) strand of the Tibag High School is one of the strands under Technical Vocational Livelihood Track. Tibag High School is a village of solidarity thus the prolific Reading Tambayan initiated by the School Parent Teacher Association (SPTA) became my hope to achieve my dreams.

I continued opening the infinite pages of my fiction book. The arc eye of the welders encouraged me not to be drowned by the pandemic. My entire veins are grateful beyond words with the Zumbook Activity because I have my book now. I went to the gazebo and meditated on some nerve-wrecking intrapersonal thoughts. Why does reading seem to be luminous? Why do people enjoy opening a book and staying inside of a chapter?

I kept on searching for the answers whenever I sat on the comfortable metal of the gazebo. I told myself, “Hey, young reader. It seems to be boring sometimes, but just like many bookworms, choose to enter inside a book for creatures of imagination.” This is the way they feel the sensation when it comes upon learning by reading. What is ironic about it is they enjoy their own space without needing to be with any company. They accompany their own selves by being alone, busy reading. There are several activities to enhance your vocabulary but this is surely included and helps a lot.

I stood and went to my sanctuary of knowledge. The welders gave life to the importance of reading. I now understand other things or people’s perceptions like in a novel, diary, story, newspapers or TV news. Plenty of students tend to avoid reading books or any reading materials for they think it is plain yet boring. It might seem like it is not essential on a daily basis but through this, we can acknowledge many things to widen and strengthen our comprehension and vocabulary. Knowledge and skills we hold tight especially, when we start to read.

Life is not always a shiny metal which is bright and excellent. The painful flash may arise. There will always be an improvement in the aspects of reading such as pronunciation, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. It serves as a basic building block for learning. It is where our foundation is located when we open the door and start to learn new lessons. Because of the unwavering talents of the SMAW students, they produced the spots where we can sit and relax while staying in our reading corners. I went back to the luminous area in our school. I am now a reader who gives emphasis to details. The ultraviolet radiation became my shield to focus on my own shelf to increase my perspective and knowledge. Open your book now to encounter new beginnings to experience the grains of success through the luminous world of reading. The welder’s flash reminds you of the great superpower you can have through reading.
