The First time I…..
Am I a good writer? What am I as a writer; average, great or horrible? As a child in elementary school I felt as if I was a great writer. I thought that I was so great that I desired to become a famous author. However, in middle school this dream shattered when I wrote this amazing paper (at least I thought it was amazing) and received a big fat F! That very day I felt as if my desire to become a famous writer was balled up and thrown out of the window.
Writing was my passion it was what I thought about all day and now it was but a mere dream. I had to find something else to focus on, I had to find something else to desire. I started spending more and more time in the school library. I discovered that I loved reading just as much as writing. I learned to read just as early as I learned to walk and use the toilet. My mother was a teacher so she would come home every afternoon and read to my sister and I. I found reading to be relaxing and intriguing. Reading was like having your own personal movie play out in your head as you read the pages of the book. I enjoyed it so much I completely stop watching television and even playing outside. I can remember my favorite series of books, which was the Junnie B. Jones series I must have read those books ten or twenty times each. During the reminder of elementary school I became better and better at reading. My teachers were amazed I was one of the best readers in my class. After reading books you would have to take an AR test on the plot and characters of the book and at the end of the school year the student with the highest average would receive a prize. I never lost!
As I got older and older my love for reading continued to grow. As I approached middle school I was becoming better and better at reading out loud and illustrating the story with great vocals and emotions. In the sixth grade I was reading at a high school level and enjoying every
