Time Wasted

   As a kid I honestly hated reading for fun. I would always find something else to do whether it'd be taking a nap, going outside, or playing video games. I guess you could say I was a natural reader meaning I could read a chapter in a book at a good pace with few or even no mistakes at all. I think I got that from reading dialogue in video games like Pokémon.

   My younger sister Cyprille is a lot like me when I was her age. She still is. Cyprille is occupied by her iPad and other things around her. The only thing that doesn't occupy her is reading. I want to be able to change that. I honestly don't want her to waste her time doing irrelevant things like I did. I believe that if she starts reading more often, she'd be doing a lot better at school. So that's what this project is about. Getting my little sister to turn what was time wasted into time spent well. 

   The book Cyprille is reading is called "The Classic Treasury Of Hans Christian Andersen". This book is a collection of fairytale stories. Cyprille already likes this book as she has already finished two fairytale stories. She says " I like "Thumbelina" because there are pretty pictures".
