My Passion For Books And Reading

I trudged out the door in utter denial it was Friday afternoon and I was in an awful mood. For 7 years my mother had made it mandatory for me to take piano lessons twice a week. As a child, I adored practicing and the ethereal feeling I felt each time I played was truly unmatched. Although the pieces I played were classical and were no longer an interest of mine my teacher was a jovial young woman named Mrs. May. She enjoyed wearing floral patterned skirts, she had trademark wide-brimmed glasses and her soft, delightful voice always made me smile. Despite Mrs. May’s enthusiasm and encouragement, I didn’t have the same passion for music as I used to. My short attention span wasn’t helping and having to practice while also devoting time to soccer and cross-country meant my free time was practically non-existent. I thought about quitting but I couldn’t gather enough courage to tell my mother. So that being said I continued, lessons generally followed the same pattern unless I had a recital in the near future. In that case, they were demanding and strenuous. That was the case as in 2 weeks I had my largest recital where I would be playing Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven on top of a piece I had written with the help of Mrs. May.

“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.” -Kofi Annan. Literacy in my family tree will never be brought back to scholars or philosophers infact Many in my family have not seeked and further education and many have not even finished high school.my love for literacy has been placed into my heart by my sister.As a child my sister has always handed me book after book each one with a smile on her face.

I'm passionate about writing. I can adapt and write about a variety of topics. My writing skills include blogs, articles, poetry and novels.

My passion is to tell people that Muslims are not terrorist. ISIS doesn’t have religion, and they don't know anything about Islam because Islam is the religion of peace not war. There were lots of attacks that they did, and the recent one was the Paris attack. I want to start off by expressing my deepest sympathies to all the people in France. Any act of violence against innocent people is an act of violence against all innocent people.

For as long as I can remember i've always had an innate passion and fondness for and with animals. In nearly all my photos as a child i'm always holding a kitten, cleaning a rabbit cage, holding a newborn goat, or sitting on a horse. My parents joke about how I learned to ride a horse before I learned to walk...it wasnt far off though. I always have known one thing though as that my passion for farming, 4-H, and animals would be apart of my future and career. To fulfill my passion and goals throughout highschool I have always been an active member of 4-H showing horses, dogs, goats, as well as being a member of the Junior Leaders 4-H club, horse judging team, and participating in non-animal projects such as sewing and photography. Through these programs I have met many people who have helped guide me as I have made my future decisions as well as developed many skills I plan to take with me to college.

A lot of people are literate in Reading and Writing, however, I am literate in other things such as Guitar, Fencing, Bowling, Metal-Detecting, Reading, Writing, and tons of other things. But I really have a passion for Reading and Writing. When I start writing, I really get into it and I do not want to stop, but sometimes when I do not get into it, I just write a small amount amount and don't really have a passion for what I am writing. But when it is good I put a lot of feeling into it. The same goes for reading, I love to read a book if it fits into my interest, I usually like books with more action and surprising moments. It can be realistic fiction, it does not matter to me. There are always weaknesses to everyone's strengths.

There are a variety of things that I love and that I love to do, but I only have one true passion; that passion is with animals. Not only do I love animals in general, but I also love caring for and working with them. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet present in my life. I like to think that for that reason it is why I love animals as much as I do. For the most part, animals are friendly and can be like a friend when you need one. Animals are also incredibly cute, which is kind of a lame point to make, but it is still is an important part as to why I feel such compassion towards animals. As a child, I always had a special spot in my heart for animals. I can recall as far back as my first cat, Casper, who was like a best friend for my young self. He would let me play with him, he was gentle, and he was very friendly. He fell ill at an old age and I would wipe his drool and brush his knotty fur because it was hard for him to care for himself. My interest in the veterinary medicine most likely comes from this experience. Now I have two more cats, Phoebe and Luna, and one dog, Kasey. I like to think I have a great connection with all three, but I have an especially strong bond with my youngest cat, Luna. When I picked out Luna as a kitten at the shelter, I could see that we immediately had a connection. She was a very feral kitten and would not let anyone get close to her, let alone touch her, but she let me pet her. It was in that moment that I knew that

In the eyes of students, reading and writing seems to be a whole new world as they approach the semester in college. It seems as if students never worked with writing or reading in their years at high school. Should we consider college a new beginning in the lives of students? Is it a whole new world for them? Did high school really prepared students for college? To the eyes of everyone, education is a must to do in the lives of teenagers, but does it really helped them learned? High school teaches students many different ways of reading and writing but they tend to focus on the strong points that helps them in their learning. In the eyes of students, college expects more of them as freshman 's, but these freshman 's aren 't fully prepared for what college is asking of them, specially in their English classes. As most students know, English class is all about reading and writing, but the way in which they do it is considered below average of what their college class wants. Students are use to type five paragraph essays with a hook sentences, thesis statement, and facts. In college, a five paragraph essay is no longer a five paragraph essay, it turns into a eight to ten paragraph essay requiring more reading, more comprehensive, and academic writing and not to mention the format. In a way the role of high school was to introduce the basics of reading and writing to students and how it will differ from college.

I wanna start this essay by first defining what is reading and writing is ,everyone could agree that reading is a process where the student get meanings from everything that they see around.Writing is basically your free choice of words.I was in Preschool when i first realize that i love reading and writing.I remember my mother walking me to my class and me not knowing that i would be walking out with knowledge to read and write.My Preschool teacher named was Ms.Newman and she was a very artistic teacher and she would express herself through her clothes.she would have different colorful words on her walls that each letter in the alphabet had a picture to represent it.she would wear

Music is magical to me. The very concept has the ability to tug at your heartstrings, calm down your nerves, and overall, bring together groups of people like no other idea really could. For the last six years, I have been a part of the music community, and I have loved every minute of it. From when I started playing the trombone in sixth-grade, to me joining marching band in high school, to my acceptance and participation Governor's School West this past summer, my passion for music has been a pivotal part of my life that has driven me to succeed in the fields of leadership, scholarship, and beyond.

I am from Venezuela and as most of a Latin-American young I dreamed of studying some day in any university of the United States, but while I was getting older my dream faded. Thus, I went to college in my country and graduated from it in 2000. Several years after, I got marriage and moved out to U.S. When I arrived here, a hot summer evening, that lost dream appeared in my mind again. But, this was far from being realized. I did not come to study; I just came with a work visa, which restricted me to working in a Hispanic church only. Through a little contact with English speakers, two years passed and my English remained worryingly basic; consequently, studying English become imperative. Added to it, in my heart burned a strong desire to become a professional here. Therefore, I have undertaken a long journey to learn English; from there, my passion for learning was born. I have developed that passion for the past nine years. Due to I “communicate primarily in Spanish” my learning journey would be no easy. (Lunsford). According to the Ex-president Barack Obama says in his inspirational speech “yes, we can”, the journal to reach a dream or fight for a cause would be hard, but a determined attitude leads people to overcome obstacles and achieve success. (Lunsford 123). As a result, my biggest obstacle is finding a balance between my job, my school, and my family life. I am a married woman with young children and a full time job. Currently, I am enrolled

What can be said about the passion that fuels the mind of a young woman? As a young child, passion was what I heavily relied on. Passion was the heaven sent I needed in order to be what I always dreamed of: a scientist. I remember pretending to save humankind with a cure all antidote that would save it from disease and disorder. The whole experience was very real to me then, as it is now. Ever since I was young, I wanted to make a difference in society that would impact it a much larger scale. That is why I firmly believe I am following my rightful pursuit as a Biology major who has a passionate interest in working within research. Factors I discussed in my other influenced me to choose this course of but primarily, it's the impact I could make on so many young leaders who look have similar backgrounds to mine that makes the major I am pursuing so much more attainable, no matter how difficult and demanding it can be at times. .My goals in life for myself and my family also contributes to my chosen field of study. These factors are so important to me because I view it as a solution that could inspire and influence so many others. The goal of being the first person on my mother's side to ever graduate from college. Also, the opportunity making my parents proud of their daughter, a daughter who will make the country they came to love and respect proud. The dream and passion to be a scientist will not only help my community here in The United States of America, but I also plan

As far back as I can remember, I have been in love with books. I would stay up into the late hours of the night because I could not handle going to bed not knowing how a story would end. Being surrounded by piles of books was my version of heaven. I have my mother to thank for this obsession with reading. As a little girl, she always read to me at night, and when I reached a certain age the roles reversed. She listened to me stumble through the simplest words in endless amounts of Junie B Jones books. I could imagine she felt irritated after a while listening to someone pronounce words in broken syllables for an hour, but if she did not encourage me to read on I would not have become the reader I am today.

I remember that when I was first learning how to read, I was fascinated with the way reading a book felt like you were watching television in your head. The amount of detail that was spread across the pages allowed me to use my imagination and dive right into the chapters. I was hooked from the moment I read my first book, and ever since then, I have wanted to not only read stories but also one day create my own.

Passion is an emotion that human beings cannot control, it leads many down paths they never thought they would go down. I loved football as it became a vessel to unleash anger and stress, but that passion for that game came crashing down during sophomore year. That summer continued to have its struggles, but it continued to improve as football season was about to begin and I could not be more ready to start a new season. However, that dream season never came for me as on one of the last days of summer, I learned my dad wanted to have hip surgery. A very intense operation that my dad would need my help to come back as a new man. Which, seems like a good opportunity for my dad, but for me, it was the end of a passion that I thought I needed to be able to continue to obtain happiness and enjoy life. I remained worried. I remained dejected. I remained upset. All those feelings and anger were for naught as my willingness to succeed and try new activities turned my dad’s surgeries into a whole new world of opportunities for me to explore.
