School Reading is a Bore...

In the past i did some light reading. I never really liked reading because in grade school and in high school the teachers made us read boring books; they never really kept my interest. The teachers always said we had to read those books and i always just skimmed the books because i knew i wouldn’t like the book or know what they were about. Last summer i started to read more because i had more free time while babysitting. My best friend has a whole book shelf full of great relationship and love books. I decided to take a look and see what i could find. I ended up reading a book called Two Way street which i actually read it and didn’t skim it. That book was one of the best books i have ever actually read. I spent my time reading by the pool in the summer or when i babysat. I actually started reading more and more last summer. I have been reading tons of books ever since. Now when a teacher says “read this book”, i just hope college books won’t bore me. I’m also not the fastest reader. It takes me awhile to read books and understand the concept of the book. I try to read a little bit of lier each night so i won’t fall behind. But with my three jobs it’s getting hard to keep up with the reading. I feel like i’m always reading. I want to enjoy the book lier and not feel like its a bore to me or something that i have to do.

  1. I'm proud of you, Megan. Reading takes practice. Also, it must become a habit. If you don't ever pick up a book, then you're never going to pick up a book. Does that make sense?

    Keep it up!!!
