When I reminisce about those days, I recall those teachers like mechanics who did not fix the problems but sent the bill anyway. With that said, we can only focus today on where we want to go and not where we have…

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    My love for reading and writing began at a young age, although, it was short lived. When I was in elementary school, I always looked forward to writing stories in my journal about the various topics my teacher created.

Reading has made me into the person I am today by allowing me to have many experiences in my life. I would say that I have become an excellent reader over the years.…
