The first time I remember writing was back in elementary school. It was around 2nd and 3rd grade. Back then most of our writing consisted of personal essays. We wrote very often. I sometimes ran out of topics and experiences to write about, due to the same topic that was being used. I used to write about the trips I’ve taken, in and out of the country. I’ve traveled out of the country a total of 5 times, and I’ve been to Orlando, Florida in 2011. Other than that, there wasn’t much to write about. Except this one time my basement slightly flooded.

Directly from book number 1, it grabbed my attention. The book had lots of imagery and not to many words. The book drew a lot of attention from a visual standpoint which kept the reader engaged. I enjoyed the series so much I continued to read the book annually when they’d release new ones. Typically finding the new book at the school library not checked out was a struggle. I think the author Jeff Kinney did a very good job writing these books and targeting young readers to help them
