In my early years, unfortunately, I lived in Mexico in a tiny town. My parents were not educated and ever really exposed me to reading. I moved to the United States during 3rd grade to get a better education. My primary focus was to learn the English language, and I still didn't have a love for reading.

My love for reading started in Middle school once I had already learned the English language.I was lucky enough to get an excellent reading teacher, who was able to foster her love of reading to me. I distinctly remember reading the book, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros in class. I enjoyed this novel because I could relate it to my own experience with my Mexican heritage. This was when it all began; the teacher had set the perfect hook for me to take the bait and instill that passion for reading.

During high school, I love my ELA class where we read, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. I didn't read as much as I would of like since I was devoted to sports.

Now, I am currently a reading teacher at a middle school. My passion for reading has gone beyond crazy, and every year I try to foster the love of reading to all my students. The best reward to hear at the end of the year is for students to tell you how they now enjoy reading. I always try to read novels that will leave them wanting for more. I have read the following books during my middle school years, and all have been with large success.
1.The Giver and Number the Stars y Lois Lowry,
2.Night by Elie Weisel,
3. My Brother Sam is dead By James L. Collier
4.House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
5.Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
6.The boy on the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
7. Fever 1793 by Laurie H. Anderson
8. The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney
These are some of my favorite ones just to name a few.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading books to my own three little girls and also enjoy reading books of my own. Currently, I am reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer aside from all the other books my two graduate courses I am required to read.
