I recall a time when I was a little kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old, when my dad decided it was time for me to see what he does at work. He’d taken me with him before, but not for the entire day. He’s a professional tennis trainer (former pro), and also cleans pools on the side to obtain a little extra money, since my mother cannot work due to her illness. There were times when I’d just tag along with him when he went to teach a lesson or brush a pool out, but for the most part, I wasn’t really…

One person can do something so small for someone and make their whole life change. No one realizes how much one little thing can do to change someone’s mood.

Of course I felt the…

Many kids can remember their parents reading them bedtime stories’, my parents may have, but I don’t remember. That could be a reason as to why I was never crazy about books, and surely never wanted to read one. I eventually gave into reading and found that I loved it. My favorite book series’ to read as a kid were Captain Underpants, Goosebumps, and Shadow Children. Each book series brought out a different part of me, and introduced me to new ways of life. They sort of molded me, but I stopped…
