My Bright Idea

While I was at work on Monday listening to the 7/8th graders talk I realized these kids spend too much time in front of the television watching reality shows with no substance. Then it hit me; the way that I love to read I should start a Young Adult or YA book club that will allow kids and teens to read books that are interesting and full of characters that will help them to develop their minds by allowing them to build a world by reading books. Books are able to help comprehension which helps develop the mind to understand so much more. There is a generation out here that would watch Love and Hip Hop instead of picking up a book and this idea is lost on me. My mom always read to me and then once I learned I was quick to pick up a book. I still read with a passion and I know that I can share that with many kids. Contacting my local library to start a book club would be awesome because I know all it takes is one phenomenal book to make you want to read. I can't wait to expand the minds of children and teens everywhere.

Me Myself & My Life

Let me tell you a little about me. I am 28 and my dream is to become a teacher. Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to work with kids; no matter how much it paid or didn't pay it has always been my dream. I use to play school teacher with my little sisters and cousins during summer vacation just to make sure they were learning. I ventured off of my path and graduated with a degree in Accounting and when I seen that wasn't getting me anywhere I decided that I would follow my dreams and do what I was set out to do. Reading is my favorite past time, I can read a book a day; that is when I'm not substitute teaching or taking care of my husband. This is going to be a blog about accomplishing my dreams because I want to inspire kids to feel how I feel about books; show them that books are a way to build a world and dream.
This will be a blog about my journey, the mistakes I make along the way, the things I do to bypass time, and my passion to follow my dreams.
