I grew up loving and devouring books. I loved self-help, marketing, business, Spanish literature, and, the Bible. I read anything my mom or dad would bring home and anything I found in the trash.
I remember the first time I was actually given a book.
My own book.
I was 13 years old and highly enthusiastic about learning English.
It was Scott, Foresman English in Tune, Level 3. I will never forget it.
I am an avid reader and so are my daughters. I’ve taught them that:
The more you READ
the MORE you know.
The more you KNOW
the SMARTER you grow.
The smarter you GROW
the STRONGER your voice,
When speaking your MIND
or making your CHOICE
The girls do own lots of books.
Besides the fact that they go to the Dominican Republic and get to experience what a treasure it is to have access to the amazing treasures that are books.
We also go to the library and the bookstore on a regular basis.
A book is a friend… and you can never have too many friends!
Enjoy your book!
