Finally a Reader?!?

Known among my friends as one of the people who "can't be a reader for shit," I think I have finally decided to prove them wrong.

When I first came into the IB program itself, many teachers did not hesitate to imply how "not good enough" I am for the program. Even today, a teacher tells me how she thought that I was simply dumb to be in 902. I wasn't good enough, they say.

Similarly, and moreover, I've heard things about and admitted as well towards me not being a reader. So for the first time, just like I proved those teachers wrong, I was somehow convinced (by a friend of mine who isn't a reader at all) to prove those people wrong who think that I "can't be a reader for shit," by actually reading a book for fun.

One of my friends gave me an overview of this book, which isn't too thick and doesn't sound boring as well. I really like the idea of reading it, so I will definitely make time and read it. The mere thought of making time to read a damn book sounds too much effort considering the senior IB year work.

I plan to get the book next week from the library. Oh! the name of the book is The Big Friendly Giant (lol?).
So do you get an idea of why I would want to read it?? if not, then you don't know me and you must ... hm well ... suck...

So after all, do you believe effort and hard work really pays off or the teachers were wrong and totally underestimated you?
