As such sounds a bit awkward in the above sentence. I think it typically is used to mean 'in its current form' or 'without making changes' but 'as is' works better to communicate that. Per se is more like saying 'as a concept' or 'in theory' so you don't object to flextime in theory, but want to make sure you will have job continuity.

How I'd like...

I really want to go on a safari in South Africa, more specifically in Cape Town. I confess that I fear  am afraid to suffer some accident, mainly with lions. Recently, my friend visited Cape Town; he went on a safari in Elizabeth Port and he liked it a lot much. I asked him if he had gone in a closed car, but he explained to me that his car was open; it consisted of a truck whose back was open and the people were up there. He also explained to me that the guides were very experienced, and when, at a certain moment a rhino ran behind his car, the driver sped the truck and drove ran away. He also explained to me that the guides instructed the people not to do make sudden movements close to animals mainly lions. He said me that this sightseeing was the best in his life. I confess that my will desire to go increased after I listened to his narrative, but my fear did too.

Really nice job, and an exciting subject!

Books are a source of food.

Books are a source of food for the soul. Each soul searches for a different food. Mine is looking for truth, wisdom, and teachings about virtues. My favorite books are educational books and Catholic spiritual books.

Some days, a book is like a trustworthy person that tells me something good. It watches me and listens to my reactions when I read it. I love to be alone with it for a moment of the day. I read them to learn something good from someone good. I do it during wait times in public places, and during free time at home. I select them by their name, then I read the introduction or a paragraph to see if I like it. I value the sincere and simple words used by the author and his purpose to explain the truth.

There are some books that I never imagined existed and it was possible to write them. After reading each page, I go deeper into the message. Their words have a special flavor that delights my soul. I feel a sweet flavor to know something good that I didn't know and I reread the message several times to savor and understand what I just knew. Sometimes I give voice and tone to some sentences.

I imagine all the work it takes an author to write a book. Hours and hours of study and meditation, compacted in a pack of paper sheets. I love the way that authors link ideas and thoughts that get out of the hiding places of their heart. Their quotes remain etched in my mind to use them when I need them.

What a joy when you find what you needed in the books, but sometimes you didn't know that you needed it, because you didn't know it. You would like to share the book and to tell other people what you discovered it and felt with it, so that they don't lose more time to discover it, although sometimes it's better to discover the books by oneself. Sometimes it's as if someone would know that you need to read those books and he put them in your way in the order that you needed.

After reading a book, I try to meditate on what I read and practice the good that I learned.

Great job - this is a very nice passage!
