Big Reading Autobiography

My family was never a big reading family. My mom always falls asleep when reading books and my sisters absolutely dread it. My dad is too busy to read and my grandmother only reads the closed captioning on her TV. I was basically raised to not read. I always, fortunately, was an average or slightly above average reader, which helped as I aged in my education process.
Thinking back to my first reading experiences in elementary school, I was always interested in medical books. I'd pick out picture books of skeletons, bacteria and germs, brains, anything bloody or gory. I also had a fascination for Dr. Seuss and the Berenstein Bears books. My elementary school self was more into movies than reading, and I was never one to read the book before
