Reading

Reading was always hard for me growing up. I hated reading what everyone else made me read in class. Most of the texts were of these authors that died a 100 years ago and talked about things that dont happen anymore. It was not because I was awful at reading, because I actually was a decent reader. I just always felt it was unrelated and unimportant. Then the day came which we read a few John Steinbeck. John Steinbeck writing style is not what caught my attention, because he is very dry, but because I am from right outside Salinas California which is where he was from and wrote about. I could finally relate to a readers experiences and will keep reading for ever. I also found books related to my content area that were about people who were successful coaches and relayed their experiences and shared their wisdom. I was always have my students read and have assignments relating reading to PE and health
