I enjoy reading because it’s something that takes my mind off everything going on around me, at home and in school. I’ll admit, I don’t read as much as I used to a few years ago, but I still find time to find a book to indulge in from time to time. One of the main reasons I don’t read as much as I used to is for the fact that I just have found more excitement in working on animations, drawing, games...But nevermind that, this paper isn’t about my hobbies. I mostly find horror and fantasy books interesting over all the other options I could pick from. I currently am not in the middle of any book in particular, but I’m looking for one to get into and I hope I’ll find soon.

Fode did. My mom used to have me read for about one to a half an hour every night before bed, so that helped me read a lot of books and boost my intellectual bases. I went through a few books faster then normal that way. But I have to say I haven’t done that reading before bed since around 4th or 5th grade. And for Mrs. Fode she helped by making it fun in class. Like with the reading bathtub, letting us go around the room to find a place to sit and read, and she even held a reading party in class one time. We could come to school dressed up as a character from our favorite book, or one that we were currently reading. And for most of the day we could just find a spot to sit and read our book we brought. It was a lot of fun back then, I must
