Reading Autobiography Essay

My earliest memories of myself is when I read next to my grandmother. We would cuttle right next to each other and she would read to me. I would try to read too! I wanted to prove that I would read. I would always ask my grandmother to read me Cinderella because it was my all time favorite book. I knew it so well. I would memorize the pages and say what the story was about and make her believe I could really read. I wanted to impress her. The funny thing was that I was only two years old. I don’t really remember that I did that, but my grandma always make fun of me about this story.
What I do remember was that when I began to go to school the first thing I wanted to do was to learn how to read a book. I would see the big kids reading books and I wanted to be like the big kids. When I began to really learn I just gave up because it was so hard, but my grandma pushed me hard to succeed.
My parents like traveling. They wanted a new environment for me so we left to Storm Lake, Iowa. Then I moved again and left to Miami, Florida. When I was living in Miami I read so many book. In Miami it was actually cool. All the preppy girls and cool guys would talk about the latest books that were coming out for teenagers and kids.
The book I was so obsessed with my cousin in 2005 and it was the latest coolest book yet was called Twilight and it Sagas. Everyone in Miami would talk about it, but now that it became a movie I don’t like it as much as I did before because now people rather watch the movie than read the book which the book is way better.
The sensation I have when I read a book it feel good. It opens your brain. When I’m reading a scary book I feel butterflies in my stomach and it also feels like if I was living or going through that moment. When I am read a Mystery book I keep on asking my self what is going to happen next. And Finally when I read a funny book I laugh out loud and people stare at me like if I was crazy, but people don’t really know what is going on.
What I think when I read a books is that it makes you think better, makes you understand things better, speak better, makes you have more vocabulary words in your speaking, and when you read out loud you don’t mess up a lot, but I do understand that when you read out loud you might get embarrassed and mess up when you read.
