I was not the best student in elementary and high school. While my grades were slightly above average, I struggled significantly with reading, spelling, grammar, and even math. I was embarrassed to read aloud, struggled to pass spelling tests, and read very few books cover to cover before graduating from high school.

Fast forward to today, what in my life has changed? I have read two books per month for the past 10 years. I even force myself to write on a regular basis and put my work on display on my blog. If you told me in high school that I would someday post what I write for anybody to read, I would have told you that you were crazy.
