- What is literacy? Literacy is the ability to read and write.
- To what extent is it important to you? Literacy is extremely important to me on the extent that without the ability to read and write I could not advance in the educational system as far as I am right now. I would not be able to comprehend other people ideas and thoughts. Similarly, I would not be able to project my own ideas and thoughts to properly communicate in society.

Chemistry contains a significant amount of scientific formulas, numbers, symbols, and terminology that are important to our everyday lives that we often do not pay attention to.
