How did you learn to write and/or read?
I learned to read at home. My mom always made me read books at night before I went to bed. When I was little, like kindergarten or first grade I would start out with easy books that only had 2 or 3 words on a page. When I was in the second or third grade I started reading easy chapter books. As for writing goes, I remember in preschool when the teachers gave me a piece of paper and I had to trace the letters. I used to think that was the coolest thing because I thought I could write, whenever I was just really tracing the letters.

What kinds of writings/readings have you done in the past?
In the past I have written essays for my school. I don't like to write a lot on my own, so I mostly just write when I am made to. The readings I have done in the past have been for my school as well. Sometimes I will find a book in the bookstore that interests me, so I read it. I'm not always reading a book on  my own though. The books I like to read are usually true stories.

How much have you enjoyed the various kinds of writing/reading you've done?
If the topic I am assigned to write about interests me, then I really enjoy writing the paper. I love to write research papers, because I can research whatever interests me and write a whole paper about it. I like to read books on my own time, and ones that look interesting to me. If I am made to read the book, I usually don't like it. When I have to read books for school it has to be done in a certain amount of time, and I don't like that. When I read for pleasure, I like to take my time, and read it whenever I can.
