After spending the day taking a college class this is something I have gained a appreciation for... A mother who spent time reading to me everyday, not just one book, but chapter books. She not only gave me a love for reading but she also helped me gain the ability to read. She gave me the tools for reading out loud, with expression when she took me to reading class with Dr. Graham .Library trips and books everywhere, that is the house I grew up in. She also allowed me to be creative and gave me the tools for learning on my own. Not every parent will give up their food pantry to a child who had a love for biology and nature. She bought me a microscope, and put up with me forever bringing in every snake, spider and bug I could get my hands on. She took me on bug hunting trips, bird hiking trips with the Graham family and also the Sharon Pierce family. Not only did she give me the tools for learning but she also gave me the time. TIME is the number one most important thing you can ever give your child. No amount of money ever can replace time. Yes I learned that in class today. The number one weapon you can ever give your child is time. That weapon will keep them out of poverty, and bridge generational gaps. Time folks, it just takes time.
