Arlene journey to reading

my reading life "wow" that's all i can say! my name is Arlene and my reading throughout past years have bin rough. i was a person who who hated to read and did not care much about it and Evan though people said it is good for you and it helps your brain i ignored it. the only time i would read was if i was told which is in school.on top of that i was a picking reader i only like to read non fiction i know i know weird but it was me and i found it better than make believe. also the fact that it was about a person and what she/he was going through in real life was interesting because than i might be able to relate in some and say she went through and i went through it. i guess it was the fact that i could connect in my own personal way. reading was boring and when i did like a book i just think i almost done yes. but as time past i realized it was not so bad but i still had start Reading fiction. i also realized around 7 grade when i did read i couldn't summarize it. when i would read i am reading the the words but not thinking what it mean or having a picture in my head. teacher would help me but couldn't remember only little parts. it stood that way for a while i was scared going into 8th grade like that but it was ok, because when we read we got to write it down which i think help me a lot because the more i did it the more memorize what i read,but not in a journal but in my head. my reading still needed diversity i tired and one day my sis told me about a book called the notebook she told me to read it and i did and you know what i loved it. it had just the right amount of romance, love, compassion, drama and sadness which was right up my ally.the most exciting thing about it, was that it was non-fiction and if you remember i did not like non- fiction,but this is a great book it was about two lover who who could not stay apart and the sweetest thing about it is that there in a nursing home and every day hes tells them how they met to how they stay together because she has old timers so is hoping her memory comes back. this love story is beautiful and actually expanded my reading in meaning trying different genre of books. i learned my self to give things a try don't stick to one thing. my reading from there on was better than ever. my thoughts about reading went away because now i actually like to and plus people say it makes you smarter and i need it once in a while doesn't ever one need it.
