During my early memories, I remember Mom sitting with me on her bed. She read to me. She always provided us with reading material such as encyclopedias and book collections. Till this day she still encourages me to read and to never stop learning .

I still have the collection of the Little Golden Books series. I utilized them to practice my reading skills and fluency. The Tortoise and the Hare was my all time favorite. I hold this series dear to my heart and to this day I share them with my own children.

I read Go Ask Alice when I was in 6th grade. I remember  my teacher telling us that she didn't  mind it was considered a burned book. She supported our interests in various genres. Her motto was "whatever to make us read". She made every reading meaningful, and to this day I remember the book. Another book I read was The Outsiders.

This was one of many books that I read during my high school years. I remember sitting in my 9th grade English class having deep discussions. Mrs. Garza brought in media and technology with this lesson. We got to see interviews with some of the survivors of this historic event. Other novels I read were The Scarlet Letter and Fahrenheit 451.

During my undergrad courses and masters I always turned to e-books. They were much cheaper than regular hard covered or paper back books. I read novels for pleasure ranging from young adult readings to erotic novels such as Fifty Shades of Grey.

I've taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade. This was by far one of my students' favorite chapter books. Junie B. Jones series, Bridge to Terabithia, and Shel Silverstien's books are some of the books I used to teach concepts, skills, and themes.

This is the book I run to on a daily basis to refresh and cleanse my soul.
