Reading and Writing
When encouraged to write, I am pretty good at it. I won the Strikewriters Contest, and like to get creative with my stories. I am hooked on reading. I average about 48 books a year. Most kids probably don't get in trouble for reading too much, but more than a few times, I've been told to "Quit reading and go do something outside." So one time, I took my book outside. "What? That's not what you meant, Mom?"

Author Crystal Allen, known for her books, The Laura Line and How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba Sized Trophy, visited our school and held a writing contest. My entry, "The Deer Incident," was one of our school's winners. She personally critiqued my writing, I won some extra library privileges, and Mrs. Allen bought all of the winners lunch. I was also published, along with other Strikwriters, on her website. https://crystalallenbooks.com/strikewriters-2018-2019.php
Two weeks at Writing Camp . . . I put my all into it and had fun in the process.
I read. A lot. My library card shows I've checked out almost 385 books since 2017. I've probably read about two-thirds of them. Some of my favorite series' I have read through multiple times.
