    As far back as I can remember, reading has always been a tremendous part of my life. Growing up, my mother introduced reading as one of the most important skills I could learn. Throughout my childhood, my entire family constantly incorporated reading into my daily schedule by helping me complete word searches, reading books, or rehearsing the ABC’s. Every night before bed, my mother and I would read a page out of a children’s bible book called Blessings Every Day as opposed to the classic Green Eggs and Ham. Reading has taught me how to exercise my imagination, how to effectively communicate with others, and relieves my stress.…

    To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…

    Writing an essay has always been somewhat of a puzzle to me. I have only written four or five essays that required real thought and never did particularly well on any of them. To me, writing has been like a stream of consciousness from my mind to the page, not something to edit and perfect. The weaknesses of my writing out way the strengths, at least in my view. I have always been more of a reader, but I have had little practice with writing.…

    The advice I received from my parents and teachers have really helped me develop as a reader and a writer. When I began to read more often my essay grades began to rise and I felt a lot more comfortable reading out loud for others to listen to my good and bad reading habits. My grammar improved over the years of reading and it is a lot easier for me to pronounce new words that I am not familiar with. Reading and writing will never be my favorite thing to do but they are something that needs to be improved to be able to move forward in…
