How Does Reading Affect My Life

Because my childhood was so filled with literature,the fact that reading is such a substantial part of my life is somewhat expected. The reading material I read then has helped me become the person I am today. As young as Second Grade, I had already read the Harry Potter series, and countless other chapter books that had helped shape my childhood. Even though my preferred genre has evolved since then, my avidity for reading has not faltered. Because of my reading, I learned how valuable the skill of, not only being able to read, but being able to comprehend the text you had read is.This skill has assisted me mature intellectually, such as last year. When I was exposed to new reading material for school, I gained the ability to, not only read more advanced books, but to realize the message that the author was portraying in their novel

Currently, a significant part of my life is my ability to play the guitar. I have been playing guitar for about a year now, but I have been only taking lessons for about six months. For about the first few months I had my guitar, I was determined to learn some songs, most of which were out of my skill range. One of these songs was Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, a moderately difficult song to learn,
especially if you had just started playing. I tried to learn how to play it, but as a result of my inexperience, I did not get very far before realizing that my goal was not procurable, at least then. I learned something from this experience; that not everything is as easy as it appears. This new perspective has helped me realize how many things go underappreciated. Also, as another result of learning guitar, this has also helped me a lot with my memorization skills, and my hand eye coordination.

Although some people may have an idea of what their future will turn out to be, nothing is written in stone.
Your choices have the power to affect your future, either positively or negatively. The image I chose to portray my future can have one of two interpretations; first, for a career, I would like to do something along the lines of journalism. This past year, I have found that I enjoy writing more than I had in years before. The second meaning behind the image is similar to what I said earlier: the future is currently made up of countless blank pages that let you dictate your own future. I have an idea of how I am going to be in the future, because of my past experiences, but in reality I do not know what the outcome will
be.
