The way J.K. Rowling wrote her stories about wizards and their mystical realms took me to another place. A place outside of my bedroom or porch to a world where humans can be turned into frogs just by a flick of a wand. On the side I would read anything from non-fiction to drama to science fiction. I would never shut the door to any book that might take me to another world. But a book geek as I was, I still had trouble with my grammar, the rules behind the language that I know the most off. I would get an essay back and can’t even see the black ink of letters because of red pen marks everywhere correcting my grammar. I despised English class in middle school and when high school came, it took me a long time to improve on my essay writing that I still got a 2 in my AP Exam for Literature and Composition despite years of essay writing and English courses. All these rules about syntax and grammar held me back and gave me trouble so much that other people might say that I am not as highly literate as I think I am. But reading never disappointed me such that if you told the 5-year-old girl that couldn’t say three that your mind will mind will be blown away from just reading, she wouldn’t be surprised at
