the day i almost died

Ever since I was a little kid I have always been harassed about reading and writing. So I had to start at a young age, my mom said I was reading cat in the hat by the age of three.  Ever since I started I can’t stop, it’s like a drug, and I’m addicted to it now.  The best part was that if I ever I felt sad, I could just pick up a book and get lost in the words.

The reason why I say it, the day I almost died, is because I had to go to school for the first time ever.  Yes, like every kid I was scared of what people would think of me.  So on the first day I was so scared, but I meet a teacher that was amazing.  The teachers name was Mr. Phillips, he was amazing because he came up and comforted me thought out the day.  So on the next day I went to school, not as scared as I was on the first day but still terrified.  The reason the teachers came to visit kids is to teach the kids one on one about reading.

So one day I was tired and Mr. Phillips I started calling him my reading buddy, because we would always go out to the hall and read a new book each day.  I started to like reading more and more each day, he always had to best books to read they were really good they would take you deeper and deeper. So I started to look forward to go to school.

So every day I would jump out of bed to get ready I would read the box of cereal to practice.  I just could not wait to go to the class so Mr. Phillips could come and get me so we can go to the hall and read. The day that I got tired of reading the same book over and over again so I was the only kid that got to move up to the 2^nd grade level.

After reading on a 2^nd grade for a week they said I could move up to the 3^rd grade level when they told me that I was so happy.
