Reading Autobiography

     Reading goes back to when i was a child. when i was small, i didn't do much reading. Like every other child, games and toys were always the greatest source of entertainment. However, i often liked being read to. children stories were the best with novels like: the three little pigs, the Cuban and the mouse, and everyone's favorite,  the missing pencil. Although when you're a child, a book with pictures is always more entertaining than educational books with words. Many of children's books today have the same plot. It starts off with the characters names and features, then it goes straight to the plot, where everything always seems to go wrong. However, at end of the story, everything turns out to be perfectly fine.
     as the years go by, it goes from being the listener to being the reader. as you move on to the next grade, you get tested on your reading skills and eventually it becomes easy to read a 300 page book. Reading has a big influence on who we are because it is what shapes our writing, speech, and how we compose essays. Now, as a high school student, essays are considered to be our best "friend". when it comes to grading and other writing test, the more words you have, the more educated you appear to be. its always good to make a great first impression, that is why i often practice reading to better my skills. I must not forget that it becomes a requirement when attending college level classes or universities.
      In school, it is recommended that you read at home. in fact, it is my homework to read 30 minutes and write a paragraph about what i read. although i have fallen behind on my work, i can always make it up since we have been mentally trained to pull off these kind of tasks. i give thanks to the government who make it easy to access books through public library's, not to mention our school library. It comes to my attention that although we are having economic problems with the schools budget cut system, we are not able to access the library on a daily basis. it would be more convenient to the students who are known as "tomorrows future" , to have access to our basic necessities . that is my personal opinion, yet it does not need to be an opinion to make a required change that shapes the way students choose to route their future.
