As a toddler my mother read to me all the time and I loved it! I watched her read all the time. She is still an avid reader.
In elementary school my love for reading flourished. I had great reading teachers! I still remember their names!
Middle School--Still going! I loved Nancy Drew books and books about tennis! I didn't even play tennis!
In high school, I had the most wonderful and "different" honors English teacher who adored poetry. Although I continued reading novels, she inspired me to explore poetry and a whole new world opened for me!
College and Adulthood--Screetch! I am sad to say that reading nonfiction made me rebel against reading! Torture! My lfie has been a whirlwind and I am just recently carving time to read what I want to read!
