MYATTITUDE TO READING
In elementary school, reading was always fun. I was a bookworm through and through from the time I could read up until about sixth grade. I [preferred to spend my time reading than watching TV, fend I often stayed up late in bed reading in secret. I finished most class reading assignments long before they were given, and I started writing short storie^in my spare timej/vhen I was about ten. My fifth grade teacher made reading even more fun than before, and I started hating snow days and sick davs. No lie! I dontaskt remember a time in my life when school was more [enjoyableD
Then came Junior High, and...

I am not going to bore you with the speech about how good reading really is because we have all heard it far too many times, but I will however tell you that l would rather spend my time reading a good book than anything else.

...that world of bookish bliss disappeared forever. when I read books for class assignments, I was expected to analyze the authortasks motivations in telling the story. I was taught to divide every piece of writing before me — to look at it on a much deeper level. Books werentaskt any good on the surface, j after all. This process of "digging deeper suddenly made reading a boring task. I didntaskt see why I had to. How was dissecting perfectly good book making it any better? I gradually stopped reading for amusement and only read the class assignments. And I still see lf as a waste of time and energy!

The "cool" crowd usually consists of kids whose academic resultsjte average or poor. Why wouldntaskt somebody who is
