Middle School From elementary to middle school I made a
drastic reading preference change. Instead of innocent girls trying to solve mysteries
I started reading about girls struggling to walk down their high school’s hall without crying.

Middle School Got my first phone in 7th grade, but didn’t have
texting until 8th grade Used text lingo to extreme Accidently would abbreviate words in English
papers Once I got my phone I found myself reading less
and les books and more time on Myspace More into reading beauty/fashion mag-
azines

High School Became more evolved as a writer and reader Better at writing journals and short essays than
long essays Could apply what I was reading to my life Put myself in a better “learning environment” Social media is my biggest influence

Outside Influences I can never think of an idea by myself. I usually
use someone else’s idea and go from there The only people who influences my thought on
books are my friends All types of media influence me Youtube videos
