I have always been known by my family and in school as an avid reader. Early on, my mom, a former elementary school teacher herself, fostered in me a burning desire for reading and a love to get lost in a book. In grade school, I was known to finish my math and other more “boring” work as quickly as possible so that I could get back to whichever story I was reading at the time. As I got older, reading for pleasure took a backseat to homework, a social life, and other hobbies. I believe I…

Developing the love I have for English is one that has continuously grown, and will continue to grow throughout my life. English and I started out as close friends when I was young. As a child every night before bed I choose a book off of my shelf and climbed under the covers and my mother read to me. I remember listening to the stories while carefully examining the pictures before she flipped the page. When she went to work I still skimmed the pictures and retold the story the best I could…
