Growing up I always struggled as a learner, having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, made school a challenge. However, as a child I was immersed in books. My mom is a special education teacher and loved to read with me each night. She would bring a different book home each night and try to settle me in with a book. Every holiday, she would always have a new book that went along with the holiday. One of my favorites, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein taught the lesson of giving instead of taking. At Christmas, The Night Before Christmas had to be read at bedtime. I remember after listening to the book, I would stare out the window looking for Santa until I fell asleep.
