My Life’s Words (So far)  Dear Humanities Classmates,   This is my letter of all my reading and writing experiences throughout my life. In this letter you will learn a lot about me as a reader and writer. Through ups, and downs of literature, in and out of teachers, writers block, and soaring words, this is a letter of my life’s words, (So far).   My first book I have ever read was a // Bob Book //. My grandma sat me down with the entire collection of // Bob Books //. I sat there for what seemed like forever and started reading, I started to understand words. Later I continued my reading sensation in Debby Painters first grade class. I owe a lot to Debby and my grandma for teaching me how to read. After that I forgot about it. I stopped reading, and the only way I could finish a book was if my mom read to me when I thought my head was going to explode. In third grade I got reading glasses because it turned out that I had bad eyes. In fourth grade I did still not like reading that much, however, then the series // Percy Jackson and the Olympians //came out. The first book // The Lighting Thief // was given to me as a birthday present from my friend who reads like crazy. I read the first chapter and I was hooked. I read all five books and loved all of them. I got mono in fourth grade too, and when I was bed ridden I would read all day long. That got me hooked on reading like never before. I read till the series stopped and the felt no back fall books. I continued to read with much less enthusiasm, but I still liked it. Then my other friend recommended // The mysterious Benedict society //Once again I fell in love with reading. Now I still read, but I think my biggest trouble as a reader is that I get easily bored. It is really hard for me to finish a book and resist the urge to put it down for a couple weeks. But when I find a really good book or series I will get hooked.  My favorite place to read is in my bed, so I often read at night before my mom makes me turn out my light, or on weekend mornings when I first wake up. Over all, I think that the concepts of books and reading are great, and I admire people who can start a book and finish it because I know it is mostly worth it in the end. My reading is a rollercoaster. Much like plots in the books that are with me all along.  <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> But the behind the cover it’s the words and the writing that offer a good book. I have always had a love of writing. From the beginning times when I was five I would write stories with characters named // Princess Sparkle Fairy Rainbow Twinkle Pink, and Sparkle Unicorn Fairy Princess Rainbow. //I then moved on to writing about ghost stories at the age of seven. To this day I continually write ALOT of poetry. I won honorable mention for my division with OSPA writing contest. I LOVE writing. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Something weird is that I love to write poetry but I don’t like to read poetry. I really like listening to my classmates work but outside of that I plainly don’t like it all that much. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The time I have my best ideas to write my poetry is 11 O’clock at night. But I have a hard time writing in class sometimes when a teacher sits us down and tells us to write something. What if I’m not feeling very inspired then. Then I might have to write something that I know I can do better on. I always try to do my best when it comes to writing. I will continue writing my entire life. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> I love reading and writing overall, if I can find the time to read and write in my busy life. I don’t think I could have loved it so much and been so inspired without my great teachers I’ve had along the way. I also use my passion for writing to write songs, because my biggest passions in life, first and foremost, are singing, piano, guitar, and acting. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I hope one day I will be able to meet my goals in reading and writing. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">That is my life’s words (So far). <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> - Vivian
