Literacy Chicago has been my second home for close to 8 years. I have learned so much from all of you and have been inspired by your dedication to learning, your perseverance against many odds, your gratitude and your kindness. Thank you for letting me into your lives - I am a better person because I had the chance to read and engage with all of you. I will never forget you. One of my favorite poems: Dawn Revisited - Rita Dove Imagine you wake up the future never happens. to write on, blown open *** Keep learning, keep journeying and keep reading against the odds.
