Coincidence of thousands with "Making Connection" by Francisco Jiménez

I have read many book in my life but only one turns out to me is Making Connection by Francisco Jiménez. It’s a story about a boy name Panchito who is trying to improve in writing and reading skills by practicing it again and again. Making connection is my story because it’s something I’m going through and have same goal as Panchito. Writing and reading is something everyone knows but it’s hard when it’s not in the language you learned it in, so it requires hard work, and motivation to achieve what you want to achieve.

In this story Panchito’s hard work helps him through his struggle of writing and reading skills. Panchito is doing everything he can to improve his skills, he writes essay and reviews them after he’s done to find mistakes, then hands it in. After his teacher gives it back to him he goes back home and goes over his mistakes and learns from them by fixing them. He does what I do to get better in my skills; I always follow my teachers’ advice to re-read my work out loud, which actually helps me.

Panchito goes up the ledder step by step making sure he doesn’t make any mistake, which is another reason he gain success. He reads books in his free time because reading will improve his writing. He goes to the library and asks his friends question to inch toward his target. He reminds me of my self, I call my friends and ask them what does the word means because sometime the dictionary doesn’t help, I also read newspaper every morning before coming to school which helps me to learn new words and the technique to use them.

In conclusion, Making Connection is a story about me because it talks about my life hard work, improving, trying, and approaching. And now I and Panchito are both happy because he achieved his goal and I achieved my.
