Goodnight Moon
When I was little my mom used to read me Goodnight Moon every single night, even when I was a baby. It became my favorite book for several years and I used to beg her to read it to me. -
Reading My First Book
The first book I ever read was "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss. I loved this book and continued to read it over and over again, along with other Dr. Seuss Books. He was my favorite author as a child. -
Jackie Joyner Kersee Writing
In third grade, for Affrican American History Month, we were assigned a person to research and write a story about. I was assigned Jackie Kersee. I learned many things about her, such as her many accomplishments in running and winning multiple gold, silver, and bronze metals at the Olympics in Track and Field. Looking back at this third grade assignment, I now find it very ironic because two years later I would join the track and field team. -
Sydney
In the 4th grade we were given the assignment to write a personal narrative which was about my dog Sydney, that had passed. This is the first time I had ever written about something that was really meaningful to me personally. -
Storytelling Festival
In 4th grade we took a field trip to a storytelling festival. I really enjoyed listening to all of the different stories from people who had came from different backgrounds and how creative people can be. -
Edgar Allen Poe Plays
In 6th grade, we took a field trip to go watch some of Edgar Allen Poe's poems being acted out. It was a really good experience for me because it was the first spoken poetry that I had ever listened to. -
Princess X
Princess X was a book I became obssessed with in the 7th grade. I have read it at least four times since and it is the only book I have read that many times. At first the name threw me off, but then I read the description of the book and learned it was my favorite genre of book, mystery. -
Mystery Books
Goosebumps was the first mystery book series I ever read. It really opened up a new genre of books to me, and every since that day I have loved to read mystery books. -
Writing Short Stories
In 8th grade I learned that I loved to write. We did multiple projects that year that allowed us to freely write with no limits. It allowed me to be creative and be able to create my own story. -
Novel Project
Last school year we were assigned to read a book and chose projects to do along with it. I chose to read the book "The Leaving" which was an amazing mystery book and is still my favorite book. I really enjoyed doing the projects especially writing a fake journal entry about one of the characters.
