My name is Courtney Longwood and I love writing, I love reading as well, it is one of my favorite things to do. When I'm not writing or reading, I'm playing lacrosse, going to swim practice, or working on my all-star layup. I remember my first ever chapter book I read in 1st grade was The Great Gatsby, children's version, In 2nd grade, I eventually read the originial. Being a 2nd grader, I was a little in over my head reading a adult classic. But I finished it in under 3 days. I read very quickly.
