In the beginning… my parents introduced
me to the best cat
around, The Cat in the
Hat.
Soon after I read this
book, I decided to
tackle the rest of the
books by Dr. Seuss,
and man, were there a
lot of them!

Writing wasn’t as always thought it was
difficult for me once I because my parents
learned how to read and never really took a lot of

had to rely on my
teachers to help me.
But, as soon as I had the

the amazing world of…
Harry Potter!
Harry Potter is to this

series I have ever read…
and I’ve read the Twilight
Saga!
The way J.K Rowling set
up the books to have
their own plot for each
book individually and
then have the major plot
to connect all of the
books together really kept
me reading.
