My interview with Stephanie was unique because she’s my sister, and so our literary experiences are fairly similar. We read the same types of books growing up, liked and disliked the same writing assignments, and so on. We both learned our reading skills primarily from our parents, but our teachers were responsible for teaching us how to write proficiently. Stephanie and I also enjoyed reading as children, though we had (and still have) different tastes. Now that we’re in college, our skills continue to develop parallel to each other. Though neither of us have had negative literacy experiences, per se, we both share the fear that we’re not excellent writers. Stephanie considers herself to be a worse writer than average,
