Me, myself, and myself

My life has only been lived by me and me alone. I believe it is fairly safe to say that nobody else has lived my life. I have lived in McFarland since I was born to Katie and Bill Heiser in 1992. I have a little brother Joe who is in 3rd grade. When I was younger, I played a lot of sports. I swam and played basketball, baseball, soccer, football, tennis, and golf. When I got to highschool, I had to choose one sport per season. I eventually ended up running cross country, swimming, and playing tennis. I am especially good at playing the game of school. I have worked hard to acheive good grades throughout my school career.

It is hard to say what my favorite book is. I enjoy several different types of books. I mostly read fantasy or war novels. I don't think I could pick a favorite book so I will describe the one that influenced me the most. When I was in 2nd grade I had trouble reading. It always took me longer than any other kid to read stories in class. Mrs. Carney, my teacher, said that all I needed to do was to find a book that I enjoyed reading. She suggested that I pick up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I started reading with my dad, but eventually took over all by myself. From that point on, I enjoyed reading immensely. I owe most of my academic success of Mrs. Carney for showing me that reading could be fun.

  1. This is awesome. I wish my second grade teacher had been that smart. Instead, I was stuck reading countless Junie B. Jones books until I was finally shown the magnificence that is the Harry Potter series. I liked the first few sentences in this post, too. Quality.
