As a teacher it does my heart good to see young folks of different ages reading and loving it.  I battle this issue everyday.  Literacy is at the forefront of the school that I am at and everyday I am amazed at the amount of children who slip through the cracks.  The majority of kids these days don't read on the level that they should be on for their age and its just sad.  This clip makes me feel good.  Hope is not lost!

Best,

Wow.

This illustrates why it is hard for me to part with the books left behind by my sweet friend who died 3 years ago. (He lived with me at my house. I always thought if our relationship ended he would move out and take his things, but now I have what he left behind, just not him anymore.) I have so many books of my own, I should probably take his to one of my local bookstores to swap for store credti, but it seems like dispersing some of my friend.
