I have been able to read for as long as I can remember. My favorite author was Bill Wallace in the second grade. He had many books about animals, most of them from the animals’ perspective. My teacher would read books about a dog named Hank who was always getting into trouble.
I have always loved to read. I read a book and watch the movie, and the book is always so much better. I have made a habit of trying to watch the movie first, because if the movie gets a detail wrong it makes me mad. I could read before I went to school.
My mother always hated reading, and I cannot remember her reading to me at all. I would get books by going to the library and getting a new book every week. My friend and I would read the same book and pretend to be our favorite character.
I still enjoy reading, and use it as a way to escape my boring, everyday life. In every book there is a different adventure waiting to flow through my vivid imagination. If I could not read I do not know what I would do with all my spare time.
