“During English class, I sat quietly and began to read a story about explorers sailing across the ocean. The book was full of adventure, and I couldn’t put it down. Later that evening, my mom asked if I had already read the assignment for tomorrow. I nodded and explained the parts I had finished earlier in the afternoon. At dinner, my dad mentioned a news article he had read online that explained new technology. My brother teased me, saying I always read faster than anyone else in the house.”
