I absolutely hated reading as a child. I would do anything to get out of having to read for class. It just so happened that I hating cleaning my room even more. When I was in 5th grade my mom sent me to my room to clean under my bed. I crawled under my bed with a trash bag and found the first Harry Potter book. I had gotten it on my birthday and somehow it had ended up under my bed. Desperate to avoid cleaning I opened the book and began reading. Two hours later my mom found me, still under my bed, reading. Harry Potter opened my eyes to all of the magical places reading can take you.
