A Treasure to Enjoy
To read a book can be to travel to a completely different world where one can have adventures, fall in love, or even become a hero. Reading is a privilege that not every man, woman, and child has, unfortunately.

They were worried for no reason however, because once I reached 2nd grade, everything about how I viewed reading changed. My teacher at the time, Mrs. Meyers told me, “Reading is something to be treasured. Whats the book you treasure most?” and when I told her I didn't have one because I disliked reading, she gave me a list of books to read.

If Mrs. Meyers had never given me that list and gotten me interested in reading, who knows how different my life would be. My whole personality, or how smart I am today could be completely different. I could have other hobbies, be interested in other things, or even just be a totally different person. I know for sure though, it wouldn't be as fun if I didn't read as much as I do now.
