There are many beliefs I have surrounding English and teaching, but perhaps the one I've held the longest is the importance of reading. Many of my fond childhood memories include reading or books in some form: my father reading to me and my sisters as children, my older sister trying to teach me how to read when she came home from kindergarten, the many book clubs I have been a part of, my volunteer position at my local library, and many more experiences.
Adventure, courage, and wisdom are only some of the many things people can gain from books. Likewise, books are only one source of gaining these things. While books are an obvious and abundant source, I see all media as a potential source of information or experience.
