How Reading And Writing Has Affected My Life

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

The significance of learning to read and write is the ability for a person to express themselves to others by communicating vocally or through writing. The communication needs to be of substance in order for it to mean anything. Reading induces the ability to learn information one did not previously know. With ability of new words and their meaning within your arsenal, gives you the ability to attack or defend your point of view. With these supporting capabilities it enables you to take and stand for what you believe and want to express.

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

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.

I was born Sarah Jessica Taylor Caudill on a cold night in January, 15 years ago, at Baptist East. A bit funny, because I only go by Sarah when teachers force me to and I loathe Baptist East. I was named after an actress but I'm terrible at acting; I write. If writing didn't exist, I wouldn't either. If I couldn't make people feel things with words on a piece of paper, I wouldn't do anything at all. A world without words wouldn't be a world worth living in.

This story is about how my reading and writing changed throughout my life going through school. When I started in kindergarten I couldn’t spell my name that well. I had trouble reading and writing, and it took me so long to understand what I was doing wrong because I’m a person that thinks that I’m always right and never wrong. As I went through elementary school, I had a problem with writing neatly, writing in complete sentences, and reading big words. When I was in elementary school I was a student that didn’t like to write during unless it was about something that interested me. Other than that the only time I wrote was when I was required to for school. As each of those five years went by I hated writing in a way, but I hated reading even more with each year that went by. The reason I hated writing during elementary school so much was because

¨A thunder of the battle spreaded through the battlefield. Horns called brave heroes to fight till the last drop of blood. Dark shadows covered a blue sky piece by piece, and a last hope was hidden behind black clouds. A sound of thousands and thousands of weapons echoed from East to West, from South to North. Rain started pouring its heavy waters on courageous warriors, and...¨ I stared into this ¨and¨ without any idea what followed after that. I stood up: my body was sore after few hours of non-stop writing. My body felt a need in stretching or going for a walk, but I personally felt a need in a 5th cup of hot tea and a bag of cookies, so I could continue writing my story.

Growing up, I would spend a lot of time with my grandparents because my parents were always working and it was easier than dropping me off at a daycare. My grandparents were avid readers; they read when they woke up in the morning, after eating lunch, and right before they went to bed. I guess some of that rubbed off on me after so many years of staying at their house and I started to read as much as them. My family never made me feel like reading was a bad thing and they fostered my love of reading since I was a kid. I don’t have one memory that sticks out as the most memorable because they were always so supportive. All of those memories come together to make one positive reading experience like every birthday I would get a book or a gift card to a bookstore or when I went with my grandparents to the grocery store they would always let me get a book and read it to me.

I have struggled with my ADD my whole life. I don’t notice it as much as other people do, but when I realize it’s happening I know I’m way out of focus. It’s extremely hard for me to concentrate. It takes me forever to get things done. I get distracted by everything and end up procrastinating because I wound up forgetting about it. Reading is difficult because if I’m not interested in what I’m reading it’s like it goes in one ear and out the other, and I end up forgetting what I just read by the time I’m done with the paragraph. I can’t remember most things only bits and pieces. I’ll have conversations with people and I’ll either forget the conversation we had a couple days ago, or I’ll remember the conversation but, I’ll forget who I had it with. Most of my life I remember through other people like my parents, siblings and friend, sometimes even pictures. They will tell me things that happened and then the memory sometimes comes back to me, but other time they

When one turns the pages of a novel, are they reading printed pages or exploring the depths of expression and adventure. Growing up in a house of book worms, reading has had a big impact on my life and my learning process. Being adopted from Russia, I was blessed with the opportunity to have better education, learn to love writing, and better my reading with my families help.

The readings offered a series of thought provoking techniques that assist with the process of writing. For example using the “Invention Strategies”, which I plan on using for the reading selfie assignment. I tend to be conflicted when it comes to what I should write for an assignment. The strategies will help assist me develop and figure out what I want to write. The author often suggests constantly asking questions in order to develop inquiry. It would be helpful me to constantly ask questions as I read in order to get a sense of how my reading affects me and my opinions, which I can include in the reflection portions of the assignment. The podcast advocates reading through using physical pages and books. I want to reflect on the different

Unlike most people my age, I enjoy a good book. From the classics we read as children to the older, more mature books we are required to read in high school, a good book can take us places that we have never imagined going. In a way, books transport me out of time-into our past or somewhere we aim to go one day. I believe that reading can and has positively affected me in my life.

Sometimes good things can come from a bad situation. Reminiscing on occasions that effected my life, some were so minor and some changed my life’s coarse completely. Childhood memories don’t always stick but the ones that do are worth everything. Writing letters to my father changed a lot about the kid I was and who I have become today; it taught me perseverance not to be ashamed and gave me the awareness to work on my writing.

I was in the beginning of my senior year in high school when my life got so unexpectedly turned around I could barely find strength to pull myself up again. I woke up that March 15th thinking it would be just another regular day, but that night, panic attacks wouldn’t let me fall asleep. It seemed like up until then my life had been an illusion, based on lies, and I was being woken up from the world of shadows only to see I was actually in hell.

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
