There is one inevitable element about reading, and that is the
ability to bring people together. It is the basis of human communication and
inspiration for our ideas. And how inspired am I, you may ask? Quite honestly,
reading seems like more of a chore than a communication element, but that is solely
because I have not put much time or effort into my reading life. Sure, Facebook
and text messaging counts as “reading”, but everyone reads in that sense. I am
not delving into the countless pages of literature like a young mind should. I
am more of a “read only when it is necessary for school” or “I’d never be
caught dead in a library” type of reader. I feel bad that I haven’t put much
time into becoming literate this way. Fortunately, I have the chance to change
that.
This class is my window of opportunity to get my feet wet in
the world of reading. My goals for this class are to set aside quality time for
reading and to actually enjoy it. Not the, only 15 more pages to go and my
English homework will be done, kind of time. But time where I can look beyond
the words on the page and swim the seas of inspiration.
