       I learned to read when I was pretty little, about the age of three or four. I loved reading little story books to my sisters at the time, and when I went to kindergarten, I was one of the best readers in the class! I would read everything from books to cereal boxes, and even tried reading road signs, which didn't work very well. As I got older around the age of seven, and was in first grade, my best friend and I would sit in her bedroom and read Junie B. Jones books to each other. Junie B. Jones books were my favorite books of all time, and I would walk around saying phrases from Dumb Bunny when I was around eight years old. I would also read to my grandparents, which they enjoyed very much. Then I discovered The Sweet Valley Twins and The Babysitters Club. But I very quickly excelled, and those books were too far under my reading level. Then it was the time of the Tale Of Desperaux. I read that book constantly and I'm sure I reread it at least six or seven times. I did a big report about it in fourth grade for an excelled class that I was in, and I decided to be Princess Pea for it. Eventually I got where I am now. The Hunger Games Trilogy and the Divergent Trilogy are my favorite series and I sadly don't read quite as much as I used to, but I still read. Reading for me used to be my escape from the world! I could lose myself in a book, and I loved it.
