My Reading Journey

         When I tell people my favorite hobby is reading. I doubt people realize that I didn't always like it. In fact I struggled to read when I was younger. 
         When I was elementary school I had to resource class and speech therapy.  Although I love to read now I struggled to pronounce and end had a hard time reading. I can still remember looking at a page back then and feeling so lost or even drawing a blank. 
         I hated when the teacher would call on me to read out loud to class. I always thought that my other peers were making fun of me. Even though it probably wasn't true. 
          In fifth grade they switched schools and the resource programs were not the best. So my parents insisted that would be tested out of them. There were still a few years that I still didn't like to read. 
          When I got to high school I discovered that I can escape my problems by reading. Thats when I started to love to read. I devoured the things I read and really enjoyed everything I read. I still really enjoy reading this day.
