    Franklin discusses how their competitive nature as a child drove them to accomplish difficult tasks like learning to walk and read at an early age. They wanted to keep up with their older cousins and friends who could already do these things. Their parents read to them frequently as a child and encouraged daily reading of the bible. This early motivation to read has stayed with Franklin into adulthood due to the continued reminders from their mother to spend time reading each day.

    As a child I was very competitive, and most of the time't still am today. My competitive
    nature was my drive to complete

    difficult and monumental accomplishments in early childhood.

    For example, I learned how to walk by watching my cousins run around my living room and
    kitchen. I did not want to be the one left out from all this fun, so I stood up and started trytng to

    follow exactly what they were doing bcause I had to

    be

    just as good

    as they were.

    This same

    drive helped me want to read. In my neighborhood I had multiple friends that were older than
    me, and they could all read.
    and

    I didn't think it was fair that they were leaming how to read books

    I only knew how to read certain words, therefore I decided that it was my turn to learn to

    read as well.

    My parents would always read to me before I went to sleep at night along with any other
    time I requested to be read to. They would read ?me a Children's Bible and a book of nursery
    rhymes. When I was old enoush to read by myself, I would play teacher and read to my parents,
    sister, dolls, and even dogs.

    My mom has always told me "read your bible every day and spend

    qualrty time with God", which started one of my motivations to make sure

    I readatleast

    once a

    day. To this day I still hear her reminding me to read every day, so I still rarely miss this
    important time of my

    day

    i)

    My Mimi would also tell me stories that she would create when I would go to her house
    about any topic that

    I wanted, Most of the time it was about dinosaurs fron&neI-and Before
