Our brains feed on new material by the processes of reading and writing. Collectively forming literacy. Different individuals have their own ways of using this notion. The interactions I have had with soccer proves that there is a direct correlation with literacy. These practices of reading and writing on soccer are centered on the ability to…

Everyone is born with…

As soon as he walked in his butler, Ferdinand, told him that his father was in the studio. Chance walked into the…
Once upon a time there was a lonely ogre named Shrek that lived in the woods in a hollowed out tree stump far away from any people. His favorite thing to do was read books and sit by his fireplace.
