    My parents never sent me to preschool. Instead, in the year or two before kindergarten, my older sisters would come home from school and teach me how to read and write.

    By the start of kindergarten, I already knew how to read. I remember once getting in a small argument once with a kid who wanted the same book as me in class. I wanted to read it and he just wanted to look at the pictures.

    I would write and illustrate my own short stories. Drawing on pieces of printer paper I folded in half, stacking them, and stapling them together.

    Got really interested in reading and would read all kinds of books. I loved "Harry Potter" and "Percy Jackson". I would often take books out at the library.

    Lost Interest

    From 2020 to 2023, I had lost all interest in reading. I would only read if I was required to and would only do as little as I needed.

    After watching "The Hunger Games" movies, I wanted to read the books. Reading the series made me passionate about reading again. I remember waking up super early before school so I could read.

    Now, I love reading. I started out reading mysteries in order to keep me hooked but have since gotten into many genres. It was hard for me to find time for reading but now I prioritize it and do it during my free time. I've read numerous books this year.
