Favorite Book: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Whether I’m reading, writing or acting, stories are everything to me! I would not be who I am today if I had not picked up The Boxcar Children in second grade, and discovered an exciting way to learn and explore.

Favorite Book: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Reading has always been an escape for me. The new world might be seemingly better or worse, but regardless it serves as a reminder of perspective. I find no better lesson on perspective and empathy than reading a book because it forces you to imagine for yourself what characters are going through. With a really good book, the emotional mental space of a character becomes your own.

Favorite Book: Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
Reading has had a positive effect on my life. I have learned kindness and empathy in addition to becoming a well-rounded person. Regardless of the genre, there was a lesson or reminder that I could carry to the real world. Moreover, my versatility in any subject allowed me to pursue any desired career. Ultimately, I chose an English-orientated career because, in my opinion, words have a longer-lasting impact than actions.

Favorite Book: The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
I think my parents realized early on that books could reach me more easily and fluently than they could. If there was a life lesson that they wanted me to learn, lecturing me would do no good. Instead, the three of us curled up on the couch and read novels about characters who learned those lessons the hard way. Characters like Meg Murry, Tiffany Aching, and Jo March soon shaped the silhouettes of my aspirations. When I read, I am foraging for that exquisite congruence between the contents of the page and the contents of my sometimes-baffling brain.
