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.
