As a child I loved to play school. I forced my siblings to sit through many hours of pretend lessons. My passion and love of reading and writing started from this connection that I shared with my siblings. This is the experience that I look back on when I think of my professional goals. My career goals have also been influenced by my teaching experiences. Earning a master’s degree in reading will assist me as I strive to achieve these goals. Teachers are life-long learners.

As I got older‚ I relished in the fact that I could read the books myself by the age 5 and did not have to wait for bedtime to
