20、I was in elementary school and high school, I was a painfully shy child. I usually kept to myself, had only a few friends, and rarely spoke in class. My parents were always very busy, so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people. I was perfectly happy by myself.

21、 I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book. The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore. In retrospect, it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appeti

22、te. Reading was my escape. My favourite books were adventure and travel storiesstories that brought the readers to exotic, unexplored, or dangerous places. These were places I longed to go, and they were adventures I yearned to experience, but I knew it was all just a fantasy. I had a hard time work

23、ing up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate, I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out one of these adventures. Therefore, I read.

24、d more books than our school had in its library. It was quite an achievement, but no one knew about it except for me. I told no one because I had no one to tell.

26、t to live in a dormitory with a roommate. It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified. My roommates name was Greg, and the first few weeks of school were very awkward. He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly. I was able to answer his questions, of course, b

27、ut I found it difficult to keep the conversation going. I just wasnt used to itI had no practice at this sort of thing. Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack London book. Suddenly, I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg. Did he like Jack London? Whi

28、ch was his favourite book? Did he read a lot? What other authors did he like? The list was endless. To my surprise, Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books. One of his dreams was to travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of historys greatest explorers. There must h

29、ave been magic at work that day. It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared. Greg and I talked for hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel. I also found it easier to talk to other people at school and make friends since that day. I felt like the world opened up to me. So many things s

30、uddenly seemed possible. In fact, Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer!
