One of my earliest memories was watching Dora. I vividly remember when I would sit in front of my tv and watch Dora. She would speak in both English and Spanish. Half of the time I would be confused when she would speak in English and understand when it was Spanish. However, I think that the scenery and visuals helped me understand what she was talking about.

Somewhere in my Kindergarten year, my teacher at the time read this book to the class. There was a CD attached to the book and she read it the first time around. Back in the day when we had station time, I chose this book and took out the cd and put it on a cf player and put on the headphones attached to it and try to follow along with the book.

Blues Clues was also a show that I watched regularly and although I had little understanding of what he would say, when he would draw clues in his little notebook I remember also tearing out a piece from my notebook and pretend to be like him.

If i'm not mistaken I remember seeing this book in first grade. By that time I was trying my best to read, I was use to reading one word books but this book I remember I would always go to the carpet of my classroom and read by the book shelf. This was one of the books I had chose and I remember my teacher walking around the classroom and the moment she was standing next to me she made me read out a sentence to her. I was nervous but i think what helped was the pictures of the animals in the book.

This book was really motivating to me in a way. Writing my name in my early years of school was challenging for me. I would write the e backwards or mess up some how. I would always say why did I have such a long name. Everyone else had easy names in my class. While my teacher read this book out to the class I related to it so much. It made me feel less iffy about my name. Since the girl in the book felt similar ways as I did.

This book brings back huge flashbacks to me . The cover would scare me for some reason. But there was something about it that would have me so into it. I remember my teacher would read it and she added her twist to the book. She would change her voice, and make different facial expressions. This was a book I liked for a good while.

Corduroy was one of those books that when I would read, I couldn't stop reading. I wanted to jump into the book and take him home with me. I would always try to keep it in my book baggy for independent reading or to take home. I would say that when I was young my imagination was more creative then how it is now.

Around 4th to 5th grade these books were ITT! I didn't care if boys mainly read these books, something about the cover and the way the book was structured made me interested to read. After when the movie came out it was easy to understand cause I had already read the book. I think I only read 2 other books from the series and after that I didn't read again.

R.L. Stine books always had me hooked at first. Half of the time i'd get confused or lost halfway through the book but I always wanted to find out what was going to happen in the end. Im not going to lie, sometimes I'd skip to the end and say I read it. But I liked watching the goosebumps episodes more than reading the book. However, when I think of books I read in my childhood I think of this.

To me it didn't matter what grade I was in, this book screams elementary school to me. Junie B. Jones was definitely a character. I remember one summer my school gave us books to take with us to read and I read Junie B Jones is not a crook and I was reading it on my bed then all of a sudden I feel my bed moving and that was the time NY experienced an earthquake. Will never forget it.

This was the very first "big girl" reads I did when I was in middle school. I chose to read this book because 1 of my classmates had bought it and I was intrigued, she lend me the book and I was intimidated at first because that book was thick. I'm like there is no way I am going to read this. I ended up reading about halfway. Stopped reading it for a month and then I just told my friend to tell me how it ends. But I felt good about myself because at least I gave it a try.

I think this was a book I actually read till the end. I remember being confused at first because of all these districts that were being mentioned. But my 8th grade teacher at the time saw me with the book and said that I was really going to like it, that I just had to really analyze the characters. So I read it till the end and I loved it. When I found out about the movie later on I remember watching snips of it on youtube and I was like "sooo thats how she looks like."

In high school I remember reading this book for one of my elective classes. It seemed so familiar and I was trying to figure out where I had heard of the story before. I then remembered that in 8th grade this was a book my teacher read to us. I'll admit that I didn't pay attention to the book. I would just skim through the pages and do my homework that way. However, in 10th grade when I read this book with my class is was a different experience. For every 2 or so chapters we read my teacher would then play the scenes of the movie and stop it to where we finished off the reading. I would say that helped me understand the book more and I was actually somewhat interested.

In high school was when I totally stopped reading. I wouldn't read books for entertainment or because I wanted to. It was more so because I had to for a class, whether it was a chapter or analyzing a paragraph. When I graduated high school I went straight to college and in those few months when I started up college is when covid hit. My whole world did a 360 and I was suffering mentally. I didn't know what to do, I had constant panic attacks, which at the time I didn't know that it was panic attacks. I ended up in the hospital because I felt like I couldn't breathe or just be on my own. I remember one night I was like I need something that is going to have my mind thinking about other things that are more calming. I went on amazon ordered this book because it had good reviews, to say the least I don't regret it.

After being heavily influenced by Tik Tok, I got this book. For a minute I felt like I was following a trend but I really enjoyed this book to say the least. It was cool to go on tik tok and see other peoples perspectives on this book .

This has been one of my last reads that I really enjoyed. For one of my classes in Kingsborough, I had to choose a book to read to my class through zoom. It was very weird and intimidating to do so. But as for the book itself i really enjoyed it. This made me realize why I want to be a teacher and have kids of my own to read too. Just thinking about me becoming a teacher one day with my kids. and my classroom and the decor for it made me excited for what's to come.
