During Homeroom, I saw one girl, just ONE girl, who was reading in class. The students are supposed to be silent during Homeroom which is about 20 minutes for the morning; they usually stare at somebody or something, or they whisper to each other. And, this girl named Bria was reading a book, which seemed pretty thick for a middle school kid. So, I asked her if she minded me asking some questions about her reading habits; she was willing to answer those questions.
I only had one or two minutes with her during transitions, so I could not finish asking all the questions I had in mind for her to answer. However, she told me that she loved reading and reading was her favorite hobby. She, of course, read about two hours a day in her room, outside of class. She also told me that she enjoys reading novels in general, but she likes paranormal and graphic novels specifically. When I asked her why she reads and why she likes reading, she answered by saying she likes to learn about new things and books allow her to explore different things. She said she has access to books through libraries and Barnes N Noble, which made me assume that she likes looking for books on her own. I didn't have enough time to ask her all the questions I had prepared to ask, so I'd like to ask the remaining questions if I have another chance; however, it was still interesting, thus far, to know a little bit about a student who truly truly loved reading and whose favorite hobby is reading, especially.
