My name is Brittany, I'm going to be honest I'am not much of a reader. When I do read I do get into it a lot, a book have to be really interesting for me to keep reading it and stay reading it until I'am done reading the whole book. Growing up in elementary school up to high school reading was always important and still is. When i was in the 2nd grade I had to read 100 books to get a award it was called the 100 book challenge. Those books was boring to me. If anything was boring to me I did not want to ever read them at all or i'll get restless reading them. When I had to write about what I've read about was kind of hard to do because if the story I read was boring or was not interesting to me I could not write about it. So I had to go and read it all over again and than write about it. I learned that it was not so bad to do. It was actually fun to do and comfortable. Its just that my writing strategies was very bad. I did not write correctly and it had to be very good and have no fragments in my writing because someone was actually going to read it so it had to be on point. When I read good books that interested me I always thought to myself when I was younger that I wished I was in the scene of the story to actually really see what's going on because that's just how good the story was to me in my opinion. But I did notice something when I first got into high school, was that reading made me a better thinker. It made me understand things better specially if I kept reading over it again and again it soon got me to understand what I was reading and to think better and harder. Reading use to be very difficult for me growing up and it kind of still is. I know that the more I read the more I will know and learn even if it just means just picking up a news paper and just read. It was somethings I did like about reading was in the middle of the story it will have me in suspense and it makes me want to keep on reading more and not to stop reading. I think that's good because I'am still continuing to read or if the book belong's to a series than I will want to read the rest of those books. For a example when I was in the 6th grade I had to do a book report on a book that belonged to the Bluford Series called Lost and Found. It was so good and when I got to the 8th grade I read the rest of the series and it was so good I loved all the books in that series. I read book after book. My favorite ones was A matter of Trust and Someone to Love Me. They was the best books in the whole series. I loved reading those books a lot. Another series I loved was Drama High. I did not get a chance to really read all of them but I plan to read all of them. And when I was in the 3rd grade I love Judy Bloom books too. Those books was always so funny. So I have some good memories of reading. That's how I also learned that reading was not so bad at all.
