What is missing from the following body paragraph?
My love for reading makes me unlike most other middle school boys. My all time favorite books are the Harry Potter series. I have read the entire series four times, and I can quote lines from each book. I also love dystopian novels like The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. It's fun to read about futuristic people and places. Another one of my favorite books is Wonder. It really opened my eyes to the importance of being kind. Most of my friends don't share my love of reading, so this definitely makes me unique.

We are all special and unique in many ways. I absolutely love sports. I also have a heart for people with special needs. And I love my family more than words can express. All of these factors come together to make me the one-of-a-kind person that I am.
