Week 13

What do I read for pleasure? Well, to be honest I have not done a lot a pleasure reading lately. When people ask me why I don't like to read I say it's because I read so much when I was little that now burned out. When I was little I could sit in my room all day just reading. Even now I love to go home and read all the books that remind me of my childhood. My all time favorites were the Berenstain Bears! As I kid I think that reading books like these were very important. Reading books like the Berenstain Bears helped me learn how to read while I was having fun. I think that reading also helps kids to learn morals through the stories and situations in the stories.

In college writing is much more enjoyable than reading for me. Reading is always the same, boring, and without fail it puts me to sleep. I think that there is so much more that you can do make writing pleasurable than reading. Working on my research paper I learned a lot of ways to make writing more enjoyable. One thing that has helped me is to choose a topic that I am actually interested in, especially if it requires research. When I care about the topic research does not seem annoying, it is interesting when I find something new about my topic. Another thing that helped make the writing process better was thinking about the topic in a new way. I tried to think of ways to do research that were less traditional. Not only did this give me better and more interesting information but it was more enjoyable than normal research!
