I take pride of every experience I have been through, because I believe that even the bad ones shake our core and awaken something new. I am always on a mission to challenge stereotypes, but I guess in the case of “book love” I am defeated. As a young girl, my parents paved the way for me to experience life through my senses. And so, I was constantly encouraged to open up and learn from our travels, life incidents, challenges and just about anything we went through as a family. My father…

My elementary school was relatively small compared to others in the area. It was kindergarten through sixth grade. Every grade in the school had between 60-80…
