How Has Reading And Writing Shaped Me

Reading has impacted my life by having a creative imagination. I read books to see the world and accept opportunities that are given to me. Opening the cover has made me curious what my life will experience and go through in the future. Not only I have gotten smarter to increase my credentials throughout my life, it has made me ambitious to succeed. I feel that education is not just important to read, but to experience how others feel, and how I would express myself to the world. If my father had not pressured me to open that book, I would not be in college today to puruse a career in medicine. Every word I read, is the second I take to get closer achieving my dreams and having the capabilities to change the world by advocating for better

No matter how much you enjoy or do not enjoy reading and writing we all have a story how it has impacted out life. Literacy has a big impact on us all, if we didn’t have it we would be lost. We wouldn’t be able to text our friends and family to stay in touch. We wouldn’t have anything to do with social media. We would lose entertainment. Those are just the basics of why reading and writing has a big impact on our lives. Majority people have a deeper more meaningful experience with reading and/or writing. I personally have never been the best at writing because I have issues with grammar. I have never enjoyed reading because I am a very slow reader and have a hard time getting into books. But I too have a reason to love reading and writing. One reason I began to enjoy

I believe a good reader is what makes a good writer. But because I lost my interest in reading, I’ve struggled with writing throughout the years. It wasn’t that I had trouble learning new skills but because I was pushed away from what I wanted to learn, so I decided to pursue other interests. Despite being eager to learn, my writing suffered due to my lack of interest in reading, however my skills in writing have increased as my drive to read has rekindled.

If I could describe my relationship with reading and writing it would most likely have to be, improving. Of course I would assume the same happens to all students that their reading and writing skills improve as they continue with their education. For me reading has been a passion, so my reading skills are pretty advanced and I can say I am able to read well. In my case, being a child of two Hispanic parents, I do have a slight accent that can get in the way and make my reading a bit rough. Usually it is not so bad, only on certain words that either I do not know how to properly pronounce or certain letters that my accent acts as a physical barrier where I have to sound it out more carefully or work around my accent. While that is the #1 major setback I have during reading. Even with that setback I can still say that I am confident in my reading skills, reading at a well speed, improving, reading various books all that combined allows to be able to read almost anything. What I do enjoy about reading is that I see it being able to bring myself into that world that the author is writing about or to envision the story they’re telling as a movie. I like the idea of just sitting back or laying down with a good book for hours and getting deep into whatever I am reading. Personally once I pick up a good book it is usually hard for me to put it down without the paranoia of not knowing how it ends will eat me up and I usually finish a book within a few days.

From a young age, children in a first world country are expected to have the ability to read and write. But if you think about this, more than 100 million youths in the world are illiterate (UNESCO). Growing up in a place where pencils and papers are scarce, being able to read and write is a blessing, yet most kids in America just see it as something they’re forced to do in school. Although most children write just for educational purposes, I see writing as something much more. Writing truly allows for a greater emotional output than other types of communication and in my rhetorical self, it is an incredible way to express myself and my thoughts to others.

It is hard to do simple things anymore like read and write thoughtfully. In a world of distractions and the constant need to be socializing with people, it is a rare that many read or writing for pleasure or to get thoughts out. Two excerpts, “What Writing Is” and “Toolbox”, in Stephen King’s book, On Writing, talks to this trouble many face today. Although the writings aren’t specifically about people being too busy and having no time to read or write, but more of how writing should be done. Good writing leads to more enjoyed reading.

Writing is taken for granted nowadays. Thus, people don't take in consideration how lucky they are to be able to read and write. I can still vividly remember how when I was very young I used to get extremely angry for not being able to read the newspaper that my grandfather used to carry around. For that reason, there is a lot of importance to reading and writing, and I'm glad that throughout this year I was able to grow as a writer.

Writing shows the development of skills that are needed in society to strive above. The expression of one’s voice is utmost importance in writing. However, many are unable to think for themselves and this leads me to believe that many are losing their voice. With more people conforming to society, less and less with fight back against the most troublesome of problems. I fear that communication will people lost in people, without writing skills to project themselves. That will lead to loss of original opinions and thoughts because everyone is dull minded to comprehend their own beliefs. Without belief, society as a whole will stay stagnant and personal growth will decrease in the common man, which can lead to underdevelopment in personality. In relations to I Stand Here Writing written by Nancy Sommers, writing skills can be seen to have great importance to the development of expression because it allows the writer to establish dialog.

As students begin school, they can begin collecting words in a notebook to create awareness that words are like treasures. Revision of words can transform a piece of competent writing into writing that is memorable and deeply moving. According to the author, the words writers choose reflect their thinking, beliefs, and feelings. If we use simple words, we will get to the point, but we won’t move the reader. When writing, we must be specific because we want our readers to feel, experience, hear, taste, and smell the same way we do it.

I’ve always been told I’m very good with words, and being told this is the main reason i aspired to becoming an author someday. I hope to leave the reader impacted after reading my articles, whether this is making the reader happy, providing motivation, or even a sense of clarity.

For many people reading and writing are the most fundamental skills a person can learn, it can also greatly influence a persons cognitive thinking capacity and the sharing of information with others. However, in some parts of the world, people still do not have access to education or the ability to learn to read and write. Lacking the skill to read and write can make things tough for some one in todays society, however with the right resources and mentors to support, one can find a hidden passion for reading and writing. For me, reading and writing has never been one of my greatest skills, I had always struggled throughout my younger years of schooling to keep an interest. As of today, reading and writing has made a great impact on my life, especially in the last few years since I began college.

What is so amazing about writing and reading? Well, As Anais Nin once put it: “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” and I’m sure everyone has felt it, the magic in putting yourself into words. With my blog, I like to believe that I can share such “taste,” because it is not only a way for me to improve my writing skills, but also to express myself through the things that interest me.

Books are amazing because they can exercise your imagination and you are learning at the same time the book I have chosen today is special to me because it has inspired my love for rugby and it has made me laugh and has entertained me for hours on end

Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy

“Writing is good because of what it says, how it opens up a world of ideas of fact for readers, and how accurately and memorably it speaks, a voice issuing from a human being who is fascinating, surprising, illuminating.”
