Why I Read

I grew up in a house where my parents would read me countless bedtime stories every night from "Go Dogs Go" to "The Giving Tree." Reading has always been an important part of my life. I read to learn about worlds I can't go to or imagine, and I read to escape reality. I read to learn about writing and creativity. Reading is like going on an adventure in my mind and it is interesting to see what authors create and think of. Reading is really important to me because it is entertaining but it helps the mind grow at the same time. I think that it is an important part of my life and everyone elses life, too, because it shows me parts of the world annd different perspectives that I had never thought of before. If I couldn't really understand important concepts because my mind wouldn't know how to work "outside of the box." Reading is important to my whole family and we have books everywhere so I feel like I grew up knowing that reading is important and that is a feeling that I won't be able to get rid of. Reading is just a lifestyle, and that is why reading is important to me.
