I enjoy reading
Reading is an indispensable part of my life. I am fortunate that I had a childhood without easy access to electronic devices, where I developed reading habits.
As a child and adolescent, I read for entertainment and fun, but now I read for learning and growth. Reading is the most effective way to learn from the greatest people throughout the world and history. Although the purpose changed, the enjoyment didn’t change.
