I had to take these tests on every book I read in school and I always won them all. I knew that reading was something I liked because I was always very intrigued by it. Even in middle school, I found my true writing voice. I remember taking a creative writing class in sixth grade and always being the student who wrote more than was expected on my writing assignments. I would write stories about things like my friends and the experiences I had at school. Sometimes I also wrote my own plays and in my plays the characters were people from the family and people from the school. I would always try to make the plot very interesting in my plays. I once wrote a play about me and my brothers traveling into space and finding aliens. Overall, I really fell in love with literacy during my middle school years because I was able to read books more at an advanced level and I was also able to write more intense stories. Literacy had a positive influence in my life throughout my schooling
