I Loved to Read

My journey to becoming a great reader began in my first grade year, along with several other classmates. Before I could read, however, I would simply describe the colorful pictures on the pages of the books. Soon enough reading was as easy as walking. 

As I grew up, I began to explore more books and developed an interest in reading fictional, supernatural books. This led to a passion for reading throughout my years in primary school. I cannot say I have a favorite author since I do not remember many of the books I read at that age. Throughout middle school I was required to read certain books, and soon enough I began to dislike reading.

Reading is not only a way to understand someone's thoughts, but also to connect with the author and want to learn more about them, which is why I think people read. In order to call yourself a reader, you must be fond of the millions of books written and want to learn more about their authors. To be a good reader, you must want to read and want to learn. I would sometimes consider myself a reader, but definitely not a very good reader, since I read when required, not when I choose to.
