first day of kindergarten
The first day of kindergarten I walked in with my mother holding her as tight as I could. I was only a little nervous until I came to the realization my Mom was leaving. I began crying and the grip on her clothing tightened. Once she left my teacher told us all the sit down in a circle and began reading to us. I finally stopped crying. -

My downfall of reading

11th Grade (The Present)
It's now 11th grade and I decided to step out my comfort zone and try to challenge myself. This is my first AP class that I've taken. I knew I had skills to do essays and read harder books. I find that advanced books increase your knowledge and vocabulary which I need for my social skills. -

My Freshman year in highschool reading levels were advancing and my reading was becoming better. I remember I read a book called "Night" and I became very hooked to it. Everytime the teacher had a question for the class I was always the first to put my hand up. My teacher then recommended to take harder classes because I wasn't afraid to read to the class.
