My Writing Impact

1003 Words5 Pages

Many things have affected my life over time. None of them have possibly effected my life more than reading and writing. Everyone knows that reading and writing is important, but for some people it has a bigger impact on their life. I believe reading in particular had a large impact in my life. I don’t know how different my life would be without reading. My interest in reading made school fun for me. It gave me a reason to try in school, and put forth an effort to do my best. My interest in reading when I was younger made me the student that I am today.
In my first few years of school, I did not care. I did not care about how I performed or what kind of review the teacher gave my parents about me. I saw school as a horrible place that I went …show more content…

My first three years of school I did not get good grades and got held back. After second grade, I became a good student. I put in more effort and became one of the top students in my class. I cared about how I performed in school. Before I got an interest in reading my education was not off to a great start. I don’t know how much different my life would be if I had not taken a keen interest in A to Z Mysteries.
Another book that had a profound impact in my life was Touching Spirit Bear. I first read this book in Sixth grade. Mrs. Heimer informed the class we were going to be split into groups to read different books. With a list of books to choose from we were told to list them in order of interest, but that it did not guarantee we would get to read the number one book on our list. I listed Touching Spirit Bear number one, and luckily, I was chosen to read it along with six other students.
Everyday my group would meet in the back of the room during a certain period of the day. Each member of the group would take turns reading. I enjoyed this part of the day to see what new adventures Touching Spirit Bear had in store for me. There never seemed to be a dull page in the entire book. My shyness to read in front of others seemed to disappear while reading this book. This was my favorite part of the day, and as I would find out later, would have a great effect on my

Every book that I have read has influenced me in one way or another, some have inspired me to improve myself, such as iWoz, and others have expanded my knowledge of the world, like The Great Gatsby. One of the most influential of these would have to be Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House #1 Dinosaurs Before Dark, which transitioned me from reading picture books to reading short children’s novels and cultivated my love of the fantasy genre.

I would have to say that one of many books that has helped to form my understanding of my faith is actually the book called Daisy Head Mayzie by Dr. Seuss. This story is about a girl who at the very beginning of the story is just like everyone else though rather quickly it becomes apparent, when she sprouts a daisy on her head, that she is rather different from everyone else. Over the course of the book she faces teasing and fame along with the desire to be normal and hating all of the attention. When I look back and try to imagine what I was thinking while reading this book it is initially hard because I was five years old when the book came out.

I should have been opened up my eyes to reading and writing because I want to be a teacher, assistant. I always liked working with kids, and I will like to be a great assistant. Since there's no way to become a teacher assistant or even a teacher without having reading and writing skills, I will have to read and write more often. It is like King says "If you want to be a writer, you must do to things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot" (72, 73). If I want to be a teacher assistant or maybe a teacher one day I must ameliorate my reading and writing.

But that confidence soon began to subside. In elementary school, we would have an annual test that determined whether a student can be placed in an advance or tutorial reading class, and every year I would be placed into the advance reading courses, so when it came time to take the test, I knew there wasn’t anything for me to worry about. And even though my score was one of the highest in the class, I still ended up in a reading tutorial class. I was a little taken aback by it, but it didn’t stop me from my love of reading and writing and plus I could switch out of those classes is I showed improvement. So I did my best to try and show that I didn’t need the extra help like some others did, but all my hard work went in vain

Reading and writing influence the way that I interact with the world. I learn new things from reading and writing, which in turn help me communicate with others because I am learning new facts and skills. My relationship with literacy is a very close one.

Honestly, I didn’t understand why Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner was so life-changing until a random conversation, two years after I first read the book. Unusual isn’t it - our favorite books typically stand out as soon as we read them. But the best books are the ones that you have to think about, the ones that mean something special - the ones that cause self-reflection. The time came to write another AP Language argument essay - this one was examining the morality of transcendentalism. I scoffed, “What kind of idiot would run off into the woods to ‘find himself’ rather than have a job, family, and dignity?”

Today the books that always manage to get my attention are usually the books based on true events. My earliest memory of being read to isn’t necessarily being read to by my parents but being read to by teachers. Both my parents were always working, so they never had time to read to me. I didn’t have any older siblings to help me so when I started school, it was the first time I was exposed to reading.
