My brother was four years older than me. By the time I turned four, I was upset that my brother could read but I couldn’t. With a ________ to read a book like my brother, I begged: “Teach me to read, Mom! Please, please?!” Finally, Mom found some time after lunch ________ reading lessons, and soon after my fifth birthday, I was reading.

My father was a great storyteller, ________ he didn’t have the time in the evening to read to me because he had to work three jobs to feed ________ family. So my brother and I longed for every Sunday morning when my father told stories about his ________ at his early age. He told us that he always volunteered to help with ________ because he liked to taste the food that was made by his mom. I seemed to ________ the soup made by my grandma and see the funny picture of my father making salad, putting a piece into his mouth ________ when no one was looking, “I was always ________ at that time as I needed food to grow taller.” he explained humorously. Hearing my father’s stories made me closer to the books and the stories they held.

One Saturday afternoon we walked two blocks to the small ________ in our neighborhood where I met Mrs. Schwartz, the librarian. My dad ________ forms about my formation for a card then he said, “You are seven now. You’re ________ enough to walk to the library yourself.” So I did—almost every afternoon. Some days Mrs. Schwartz read books aloud to a group of children and sometimes she taught us ________ to choose books properly from the shelves. Books became my companies who were my comfort when I felt lonely.

Yes, reading ________ my life a lot. It helped me study better so I could become a teacher and share my love of reading with my ________ in the school.
