Post #1: Why I Read

I enjoy reading because I find it to be very interesting. I have been reading for my entire life and have always liked it. I have been able to read at very high levels ever since I was a young kid. I was able to read before the age of 2, and since I had a much higher reading  than all of the other kids at my preschool/kindergarten, my principal had to bring in books just for me that were at my level. I find reading very fun to do because I can forget about the rest of the world while I do it and put all of my attention to reading. I have enjoyed reading because it helps me gain knowledge and it helps me to grow my vocabulary. Sometimes I only read books though if my friends do because I want to be able to be similar to them and be able to talk about more things with them. Reading, for me, has been something that I have always been surrounded by due to the fact that my family is always reading books and going to the book store to buy more books. It has been one of my favorite things to do to pass the time ever since I was a little kid as well.
