The first book I picked up, titled, Green Eggs and Ham," was what introduced my eyes to reading. I learned my colors and my love for rhyming from that book. I was four and that was the first and most important positive reading experience I have had. When I was in the seventh grade, I was assigned to read and write a new book report on a weekly basis. I absolutely dreaded that assignment, making it my most negative reading assignment.
My sophomore year of high school sparked my interest in music and in my writing. I moved to Texas that year, leaving me with no one to communicate my inner most thoughts and ideas, so I began to write, which eventually began to change into my rap music lyrics being written daily. It sparked my creativity and introduced me to the bright side of writing papers and essays, making writing fun for me. Prior to that positive experience, I didn't care much for writing, mainly because I only wrote science papers and who wants to write twelve page research papers every 4 months. All in all, my experiences created me into the man I am today and I'm thankful for them!

Some positive reading experiences usually take place when I read a book that I actually have interest in. For example, I read the book "Petey" when I was in approximately 6th grade. This book was very moving and emotional which is why I can still remember most of it to this day. Since this was a book that I was not forced to read, I took interest in it and learned some valuable lessons.
ReplyDeleteI can't really think of a positive or negative writing experience since none of my writing has been done for fun. Although if I had to pick a positive experience I would say the biology paper I wrote my freshman year of high school was the best. I found it a few months ago and I was impressed that I was the author of that paper.
