She Wondered If All The Firsts In

[i]t's Not Just The Books Under Fire Now That Worry Me. It Is The Books That Will Never Be Written. The Books That Will Never Be Read. And All Due To The Fear Of Censorship. As Always, Young Readers Will Be The Real Losers.

Books Opened Up A Whole New World To Me. Through Them I Discovered New Ideas, Traveled To New Places, And Met New People. Books Helped Me Learn To Understand Other People And They Taught Me A Lot About Myself. ... Some Books You Never Forget. Some Characters Become Your Friends For Life.

Things Change…things Happen…things You Can’t Even Imagine When You’re Young And Full Of Hope.

You've Got To Enjoy Whatever You Can And Forget About The Rest.
