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: We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates
Reading has positively impacted my life in more ways than I can explain. Ever since my mom read the Harry Potter series to me when I was younger, books and stories have been a form of escape. There’s a sense of adventure in reading, and I truly love and appreciate that. It has led me to get a degree in English and to become a better writer as well. I’ll read until I can’t read anymore, and when my eyesight goes, I hope I’ll have someone to read to me.

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.
