My Reading Journey

I was just a toddler when I learnt how to read, I remember reading all the Dr. Seuss books. I enjoyed reading as a child. Just like many kids in the United States I learnt how to read in the first grade I remember learning the alphabet in kindergarden and in first grade putting them the putting them together to make word, which later I learnt how to read.
      As I grew up I started to develop a dislike for reading and I only started to read the stuff I thought was important. I enjoyed reading as a child picking up books that amused me and that I thought would be wonderful but, as I got older the teachers started to push reading on to me trying to make me read every minute of the class. I always wondered why teachers pushed reading on to the students. It like they don't understand that the more you try to push on to us we're not going to like it. I dislike reading unless I'm doing it on my own which means without it being told to.
      I love mystery, fantasy, and adventure books, I just get lost in the words of the book and it feels like I'm actually apart of the book. I never really understood the poems or books teacher had us try to make us read, the books they read in their teen years. I really don't find these books interesting that's why I read the mystery, fantasy, and adventure. The books the teachers try to have me read I just don't like the type of genre they set out to be. When I learnt how to read I was just a toddler and interested in all the Dr. Seuss books and picture books. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to read all the little kid books without being expected to read all these enormous books. That's "My Reading Journey."
