You Matter Too!

By Alyssa Dickens

I just love sitting down and reading a good book. Don't you? Just about everywhere you look whether it be online or in a store, you can find books on any topic or genre. There is such a vast selection that you can choose from. For me, each book I read is the start of a new adventure.

When My Love For Books Began 

I'll be honest. I have never really been a really big reader until now. When I was a little girl I remember my mom reading to me each night and that I use to love it a lot, but as far as me picking up a book and reading it myself; I didn't do it very often. Now I look back and have no clue why I didn't read.  Maybe I thought it was boring or something. I have no clue, but that was back then. I think my true love for books started after I had a fight with technology.

Something I've Notice

Personal Development is an important aspect of everyone's life. Whether it be learning something new, taking a walk, or even reading a book. All these activities and more fall under the category of personal development. Recently, when I started reading "See Me" by Nicolas Sparks I realized two things. The first thing is that reading is fun and secondly that each book takes you on an adventure without actually moving. Within the last week, since I starting my love for reading I have made the time each day for myself to read the book that I have almost finished reading a 31 chapter book. Now I totally get why my mom said she can't read a book during the school year.

Action Item

Everyone has time for working on their personal development. Its weather you make the time that matters. Each day, I want you to set aside some time; whether it be half an hour or 2 hours to do something for yourself.
