My Literacy Autobiography
I was in the second grade when I first fell in love with reading. Reading was always my escape from the real world. I was never a fan of writing. Writing papers was my biggest fear when I was in grade school. As I got older, the number of books I read began to lessen. I also began trying to avoid writing papers as much as I could.

Although my relationship with reading was shaky throughout the years, my love for it never changed. My relationship with writing changed dramatically throughout the years because it became more valuable to me. I am no longer afraid to let my fingers type away or let my pencil stroke a piece of paper. I just hope that I can be a teacher that rubs off the importance of reading and writing to my
