Summer Reading/Steve Jobs:The Man Who Thought Different
I would rate this book 3/5 stars
From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, he dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty-one, he created Apple.This book was very interesting and had alot of amazing facts about Steve Jobs. If you really like character and a plot like me, this book isn't for you. But if you enjoy a crazy story about one mans journey to fame and fortune you will want to read this book! -

Self-Assessment
I think I have grown very much as a reader and a thinker this year. First of I love to read a thing that I hated at the start of the year, I can read faster and have an easier time sounding out words. Next year I want to read ten books and start working on reading out loud because that is still something I need help with. I really enjoyed this year and all the books I read this year. I can't wait entil next year where I will kept growing as a reader and a thinker.
