one word I picked for the semester

 I basically have a habit of keeping my Bomer book or other essential books in my backpack since I am taking courses that are very busy on blackboard. This keeps me from running back to my apartment for my book when I have an assignment that is due. I also keeps these books in the outer section of my backpack so I do not have to dig around in my backpack for it. My reading appointments with books are usually in the late evenings since this is the time of day that I am the most relaxed and less busy. This is also the time I read any type of books. I enjoy reading in the HBU library or at home because it is a warm comfortable environment away from the outdoor elements. I find it easy to read at school as well but the bed or the kitchen table is way too challenging because I tend to fall asleep instantly in the bedroom.

My slice of life moment was in 4th grade because I would naturally feel motivated and get an adrenaline rush when the teacher would consistently use my writing as an example to other students on how to effectively write essays.

I was a very humble student so it was clearly not an ego thing with me. I took my writing very seriously in the 4th grade because I was passionate about competing in writing and spelling bee contests.
