All throughout elementary and into middle school I struggled with reading. In high school, I got really involved in theater. I started reading a lot of plays. My passion for performing helped me grow into a much more literate and confident human.

Although I still struggle with reading and writing, I have improved a lot and I am quite proud of myself. I truly believe theater has helped me a lot in this regard. I find it very difficult to just sit down and read but lately, I have actually gotten kind of into horror-thriller mystery books!
