CASSANDRA REVELES: THIS IS REAL, THIS IS ME :)

 

 

Hello everyone, my name is Cassandra Reveles. I am currently a senior here at Chico State. I was born and raised in Southern California in the small city of Lawndale. I come from a strong hispanic background. My parents come from Mexico and have made sure to teach my siblings and I the importance of our culture. I love to go out and explore my surroundings and I also enjoy baking. I am the first in my family to attend a 4 year university, which means the pressure is on for me.  I have always had a love for children. I like to see their growth in learning and all the funny little things they have to say, they really speak their minds. Growing up I was always surrounded by many little kids and that’s where my love for children began. Throughout elementary school all those amazing teachers I had inspired me to become a teacher. For the reason here I am  enrolled in this english class pursing my BA in Liberal Studies.

To be reader from my point of view is a person who enjoys all times of reading whether it d reading post on the internet or finding yourself lost in chapter and chapter of your favorite book. The one thing I think really makes a reader a “reader” is someone who retains the information they read and actually gain something of their reading. My daily reading consist of  social media post, subtitles, recipes, books by Rupi Kaur, text messages, menus, and reading the street signs. I would say I do read differently because my mind set changes when I know I have to read for my classes and assignments rather than for my own enjoyment. Lately, my reading assignments have been really interesting and more relatable and that made me enjoy do my reading assignments. I’d say that sometimes my outside reading does connect with my school reading depending on what it is that I am reading. For example I find myself researching about teaching and that goes hand in hand with my school reading because that’s what these classes are preparing me for. All in all, I think that we are all readers and that even if you lose your love for reading you find it again like I am slowy doing.
