1st reading memory
My first reading memory is my parents reading to me these small books in Spanish and they would also try to read my English books that my pre-school would allow me to take home. This really stuck with me as my parents struggled to read these books that are in English as Spanish is their main language. -
Reading Spanglish
I began school and started to read. As Spanish is my native language I would read the books in English but if I was reading it out loud I will translate them to Spanish without wanting to, -
Fell in love with reading
I read the first Chapter book that I enjoyed and this really opened my love for reading. This was the end of 5th grade and this was the most I have ever read (until college). -

Hated reading
I lost my love for reading as there was so much that happened to me after 2009 I could not bother to pick up a book -
The spark was ignited
Once life got back to "normal" I read Wonder By R. J. Palacio and i fell in love! I began to read once again. -
Reading to little ones!
I love reading to my nieces and nephews. Seeing their eyes light up when we read and allow them to be creative, really gets them thinking! -
Reading with my mom
My best memories are of reading with my mom. She is a book worm and it is rare to see her without a book. This is how we spend quality time and this interaction has allowed me to love and cherish reading. -
Proof reading
During this time I am proofreading my nephew's work, while also getting him to read some more. Which has been a mission that has not been accomplished... -
Audio Books
During this time life is hectic and BUSY!!!! I still want to read but I learn about audiobooks! Audiobooks are not the same as a physical book but it allows me to get my reading in while I drive, work, and live life! -
