I read because when I was in kindergarten I struggled to
read very badly. It was difficult for me to understand reading and the concept.
So my grandma decided to help me since she once was a kindergarten teacher.
With her help along with keeping in contact with my current teacher, they were
able to get me on track with reading, to the point where I was ahead of grade
level! So by the time first grade came around I was the only kid allowed to
read chapter books at the time. My love for reading just took off from there.
And now with being in color guard and all the workload being dumped on you as
junior, reading becomes harder with the little time I have. I still love to
read when I do have time because I like entering a new place and getting new
perspectives. Reading has always been a new outlook and an adventure. It
helps relieve stress for me and gives me the opportunity to sleep better.
Reading has always been there and is one thing I know will always be available
to me. And I just hope that I get to share my love of reading with other people
who have a passion just like I do.
