Reading has been a part of my life ever since I was able to walk on my own. I love to read because it takes me to new worlds, new ecosystems and new communities with their own pros and cons. Reading stimulates my mind in so many positive ways and I often stay awake at night so I can ponder the answers to questions I have. I wanted to join Teenreads because I want to bestow my love of reading to people who “hate” it or “don’t have the time.” If I can change one person’s opinion of reading, I will consider myself a success, and I feel that Teen Reads was my route through which my inspiration can travel.
