Hello I am Joshua Haynes, I am the third oldest of a family of five. I am 18 years of age, and I enjoy playing sports and playing Xbox 360. I was born and raised on the north side of St.Louis, Missouri. My past experiences with reading and writing have not been all so memorable. I enjoyed reading until I reached the age of 10, which is when I began middle school. I lost interest in reading because we were expected to read aloud in class and this did not make the reading process and easier. I have always enjoyed writing, no matter if it was school work or just writing in a journal.
Me as a reader I enjoy reading only if the book or material I’m reading is of my interest. It must be some type of adventure, mystery, or sports book. If I have an idea or grasp of the topic I am writing about this process is usually not that hard for me. My strengths as a reader and writer are I can get a clear understanding of most material I read, and I give great details when I write about a topic. My weaknesses as a reader and writer are I can get distracted easily if the material I’m reading about is uninteresting, and writing conclusions for my academic papers is a challenging process for me. My ability to get distracted easily when reading intimidates and excites me, because it just makes me want to reach my full potential in this subject
