When I was in elementary school, I read a lot of books- A.R. points were something used to measure the level of difficulty that the book was, for example “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” was a .5 pts but the Harry Potter series was 8 points. I won a lot of awards every year for having A.R. points like getting a tile spray painted in the library with my name on it and the number of A.R. points I got (250, 500 & 750 A.R. points). I read so much that I found it hard to get a book

I looked forward to AR store day more than and summer break I’ve ever had. Every year my obsession with my placement on the leader boards caused me to have the most points in my class, and also enabled me to buy matching slap bracelets for all my friends. From ages seven to ten, I was convinced slap bracelets were the most valuable things that books could give me. In my mind, if someone asked me to read a book with no point value they might as well have asked me to do hard labor for no reason. The only stories I vaguely remember are series, because I read at least 1000 pages about the same time traveling tree house or unlucky orphans with a creepy relative. I flew through so many books that my friends would point to a shelf in the library and try
