I am a mother, an aspiring teacher, lifetime student, and an advid reader. I love to be inspired and to inspire others. Reading and writing are my passion. My self proclaimed responsibility is to help children discover their voice/story through reading and writing.

MY LITERACY REFLECTION

Teen Adolescent...defiant, smart, rebellious.

Books...not interested, procrastinator, priority: social life.

Mrs. Levy...10th grade AP English, ultimate cheerleader,… but still not interested.

Victor Hugo...a play, the music begins, silence.

Les Mesirables...the book is alive, emotion, captivated.

Hooked...a man’s story, a loaf of bread, fugitive for life…

Hooked...The journey into another, Person, Viewpoint, a New World Begins.

A Reader For Life.
