Before Being Born
My mom always told me that she would always read to me while in the womb. Maybe that is one of the reason I have always enjoyed reading, because I was exposed to it very early. -
Dad Reading To Me
Every night my dad would always read me a story before bed. Its one my dads and also my best memories . -
Story Time
In kindergarten, the teacher would always gather the students to the carpet for story time. One of my favorite books that I remember is Pete the Cat. That is when I started to see how much fun a book can be. -
Exploring Books
In the fourth grade is when I really started to find books interesting and started to explore books that I wanted to read. The library teacher introduced me to "Junie B. Jone's" and after that I was obsessed and wanted to keep reading more and more. -
Book Project
In the fifth grade, my teacher made us do a book project for any book of our choosing. For the project, we had to read a book and gather some materials that symbolized things from the reading and explain to the class why and what it symbolized. The book I picked was "The Bad Beginning" from A series of Unfortunate Events series. -
Reading To My Brother
My brother and I have a close relationship, when he was small I would always read to him just like my dad did to me. One of my favorite books that I would read to him was "The Giving Tree." -
Reading Not As Interesting
In high school, we had to read lots of books in my English Reading Literature class. In that class is when I started to find books not fun anymore, boring, and just started to lose interest in them. During this time I was also more interested in joining clubs/sports. -
Finding That Spark
The summer after graduating high school is when I found my self-loving reading again. I feel that having more time and not being busy with sports and clubs helped me find my way back to reading. -
Volunteering
As my little cousins know I love to read they surprised me and asked me to come to their school for reading week as the teacher was looking for volunteers. I have to say this was one of the best expereinces of my life. -
Reading To Others
At this time of year, I work at the school district and I feel like now roles have changed as I am now the one reading to kids. While reading to kids I hope to help them find the joys of reading and help them fall in love with it, just like I did.
