Personal Narrative: Who Am I As A Reader

Who am I as a reader? I think of myself as an average reader. I first began to read, when in elementary when the English teachers, told us we had to read a book, and from there, I began to read books. I didn’t really like to read books, but we were told to do so. The book which I had to read in elementary school, were not bad for a little child to read. The books could have been better, as of now all the elementary books are good in some certain circumstances.
Some of the books which we read in elementary were examples like, Dr. Seuss and other childish books. As I went to a higher standard of books, and got older,

I actually like to read books that contain interesting historic contents. Like the book which we had to read over the summer, “Elizabeth and Hazel”. This book had very interesting past and showed us, how the whites treated the blacks and the split between two colors. Another, interesting book which I read over the course of my high school life, was the autobiography of Steve Jobs. This book was another type of a historic feature, because it explained the past life of Steve Jobs. This autobiography even explained how apple was created and what partners he had to make an impressing company, which was named “Apple”.
These are the types of books which I loved and that I choose to read, because Steve Jobs autobiography thought me how to fulfill my destiny and do what you want to do, in your life. In the book of “Elizabeth and Hazel”, this book taught me how to never give up and that you going to face difficulties in life. Even this book showed how Elizabeth overcame and became strong women because everyone except her community hated her because of her skin color. The only friend she basically had was Hazel and she was white, but they worked together.
Essentially, I didn’t like to read books at all, but since I read these two books that convinced me into who I am now, that I would love to read books and I would love to read the types of books that we had to read like, Elizabeth and Hazel. These books not only show me how to fulfill my destiny and how the lives were back in the 1900s, but how to see that life has some struggles and that you have to overcome it.
Before, in elementary school, and high school, I couldn’t understand what I read and I was hopeless but, I managed my ways to find a way to read and understand what I read because reading is important in college. So I found the two books which I discussed and read it over and over till I finally understood the books.
In times, I found books that were interesting that were not related to the two books, but then I found out that book is untrue and just wanted to mess with my mind. So, I decided to look for other books and I found an interesting magazine, and that magazine was totally bad, but it didn’t relate anything to any cultural backgrounds. This magazine was basically words that just wanted to attract you in a way that didn’t make sense.
As I continue to read more books and magazines, I will soon get better in my writing assignments and improve in my reading skills, because more you read, the more you get better and the more the people will understand you.
