In My Spare Time :D

If someone were to ask me what do I love to do in my spare time....? Well I could actually give them a whole list. I truly do not do very much, on a regular basis I like to hang out with my friends, of course text; listen to music, and EAT ALL DAY EVERYDAY! One thing over rides all that lately however... Lately, I have been reading in my spare time.

          When I was younger my grandmother and my mother (as well as other adults) always encouraged me to read in and out of school. So once I picked up on the habit I never really stopped. I love to read mainly because, that is how I learn. I learn new words, read about other people’s lifestyles, become a better reader, and also stay occupied in a positive manner. I am one of very few people out of my friends that like to read in their spare time.

From my standpoint I think reading outside of school improves my comprehension, word pronunciation, and vocabulary. For me, reading is important, because every time I read a book that is good I keep reading it and I also read it faster just so I can know what happens at the end. I use that same technique in school so that in case I am being timed to read something and answer questions, like on the OGT practice tests, then I can read quick enough and answer the questions.

I love reading which also inspired me to write my own short stories when I was younger. I have always loved to write songs, poems, sometimes scripts, and even type up meaningful papers. Reading is a huge part of me and I always send a big thank you to EVERYONE who helped me when I was just learning how to sound out words!
