Roads of Pennsylvania
Slide 12
Slide 13
Scenario: When I was younger, my family would make up stories
to pass the time during long road trips. For example, my dad would
start the story Once upon a time and popcorn story tell until the
last family member finished the story. I started to write these
stories down and this perhaps sparked my interest for writing.

Scenario: In that last picture, I was yapping off a
kindergartener's ear. As a fifth grader, some of the classes were
chosen to read a storybook to the little kids of the kindergarten
class. I was picked and this might have started my liking for
reading.

Night by Elie Wiesel This book was by far my favorite book I
had to read for school. I loved how it was a true story. I find the
Holocaust a very, very interesting and devastating topic and this
book kept me on the edge of my seat for sure. This novel was one of
my favorite reading experiences.
