I’ve never been one to really enjoy reading or writing. I wouldn’t say I’m unskilled at either, it just doesn’t really draw my attention like my other hobbies. However, the books I have read I thoroughly enjoyed. I would say since about sixth grade I’ve been a big fan of the Harry Potter series and I’ve read each of the books multiple times. Other than those books and other books I was required to read for various classes, I haven’t read much. But, starting last semester, I’ve started reading more. I found a few books that interest me and I read them when I have a good amount of free time I can dedicate to them. They’re mostly books about learning for math and science students or leadership books, but I enjoy reading them.
Writing is a different story. I’ve never written as a hobby. I’ve only ever done it for a class really. It’s not really something I enjoy doing, mostly because I don’t see myself as a very creative person and I find it quite hard to start writing. But once I start, I can write until I run out of material, and, depending on the subject, I can write quite a bit. I’m hoping to turn writing from something I would rather avoid to something painless.
