During second grade, I recall that my favorite book at the time was "Frog and Toad are Friends" by Arnold Lobel, which inspired me to read more throughout the rest of elementary school. -
This book series was, and still is, one of my favorite series to read. I remember reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck" for the first time, and I wanted to read the rest of the series. -
This is the first book I remember reading in Carrigan. It introduced me to a new genre of survivalist books that I still read from time to time. -
This was the first non-fiction book that I clearly remember reading in middle school. It was about a child in South Sudan during the turmoil of the Sudanese Civil War. For some reason, I often had comparisons between us. -
My uncle taught me the basics on reading Arabic letters via Zoom. As this was a new language for me to learn, I struggled heavily due to the vastly different writing system. -
In seventh grade, for my final grade in my creative writing class, I had to write a story on Greek mythology. This was my favorite writing project at the time, as I wrote about 40 pages for it. -
This book was an introduction to Shakespearean writing, which was too complicated for me at the time. Due to this fact, I was not interested in Shakespearean literature. -
This assignment proved to me that writing was not only essential to English classes, but also science-based classes such as AP Biology. I recall getting a 78/100, which was honestly lower than I anticipated.
