I really don’t like to read, but I can read about sports and mystery. The reason why I don’t like to read is because when I was little I had to go to summer school for reading and I was mad because I could not have a good summer away from school. I really don’t read unless I have to read in school and then I have to fill out a book talk about the book after every month. I read sports, mystery books.

    To say that I am a reader would be a stretch. I can not remember the last time I picked up a book for my own personal pleasure. Some would say that should bother me, but I can’t agree with the reasoning behind it. Mostly people bring up how books have broadened their horizons and changed their way of thinking, which is something I can’t relate to. Instead, I would say that I agree with what a good book should do, but I can‘t say I have found a good book, or a page turner if you will.…

    Growing up as a kid I never really enjoyed reading and writing. It was and probably will always be my least favorite subject, nothing against you my lovely English professor, but I just don’t enjoy it. The only time I really enjoyed reading as a child was when I got my first leap pad and I eventually destroyed it and it was probably within 2 weeks of getting it,…

    I would love to go to the library, go to bookstores, or when I would go into a store I would always pick up a book or magazine and start reading. I still do really love reading, but I hardly have any time to anymore, my schedule is school, practice, home, homework, then sleep. But when I do have free time I try to read a book.

    However, the main point is colleges should produce writers who can actually use writing as a source for their future jobs and the questions is how can they do that? For example, I want to major in biology. Even though I major in biology, writing would be important to become more successful in my future career. One good way would be giving students an assignment where they require them to write papers on subjects of their choice that have something to do with biology.…

    My Journey with Two Different Literacy’s I have been struggling with reading and writing from what I remember. But at such a young age I did have a passion for reading until I had to learn English.

    We - as civilization - are shaped by our interactions with people. Some people have an engaged personality; generally bold or active. Other people tend to have a shy or introverted personality, preferring to be engaged in a small group of friends and stray from large groups. I am both partially introverted and extroverted, but prefer the latter. Reading is such a major part of my life; from the time I could comprehend the written word, I had always turned towards book.…

    In the quote by Christopher Columbus he states “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination” I thought this quote pertained to me because I know this year there are going to be many obstacles in English class, but if I just push myself I know I can reach my goal. As a reader and writer, I believe that I have grown stronger over the years. In the past, I did not like reading at all I would try to get by with reading as little of the stories as possible in order to pass. I felt this way until this summer when I started to read the books for English.…

    Growing up in a fast paced city has shown me that life really does flash right before our eyes. Having a thirst for knowledge, and always being eager to read books made it easy for me to dive into my schoolwork and take all that I could from it. Whether it was asking my teachers questions about their professions or their other jobs after school, I was always interested in learning more about people that were actively participating in my potential future workforce. I wanted to get to know them and dissect what made them successful, so one day I could follow in their footsteps. My interest in the study of communications began at a young age reading and examining screenplays, prompts, and novels in my grandpa’s library, as he was part of the Screen…

    Was there ever a time you didn’t like to do something, but as you got older you started to love it more than you did as a child? When I was younger, I never liked to read, but now as I have gotten older, I read more and more different kinds of books and novels. My mother put my sister and me into a reading program in elementary school because our reading levels were lower than they should be. There were no criteria so we read books that were interesting to us, like the Given Tree by Shel Silverstein and Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. When we finished reading them we would go around and talk about the book we read.…

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…
