Assignment 1 - Olivia Combs

Well to be honest I do not really like reading a whole much, because I struggled with it all throughout middle school and high school. However the earliest memory is probably sometime during elementary school. Growing up my parents read to me, but not often because I would rather listen to music. So I did not asked my parents to read to me to much. On the other hand even though I do not like reading I still did have a favorite childrens book. My favorite children's book would have to be "Good night moon," because of the beautiful pictures in the books of the night time atmosphere. Again in middle school and high school I always struggled with reading and found it difficult, not because I did not understand what I was reading. But becasue I read slower than all the other children. What a regular child could read in an hour or two would take me three or four hours to read. To what I can remember my teachers did not read to us much inclass, but when they did they read books like Holes, Tuck Everlasting, and Anne Frank. Thinking back I do remember liking the book Holes very much and due to me finally finding a book I was interested it continue today to read that same book over and over, as a reminder to why it can be fun to read. As for today I do not read much on my own time, however when I do come across a good book I get it to save for a rainy day. When reading can be the most enjoyable.
