2008
This is by far my most passionate area for introducing students to literature connections
in and beyond their library shelves.
The world opened up to me as a reader once I began
reading and hearing the voices of those who live in other nations.
Voices of those who
are culturally diverse here in the United States began a connection of compassion and
inspiration to my heart, as if I now had a wealth of new friends and family that I could
find hope, strength, and understanding about this journey we call “life.
