The Wizard of Oz, my first true love. I read the book when I was in second grade. It was the moment my life changed and I became a proud book nerd.
The words jumped off the page and I was walking on the yellow brick road along with Dorothy. My favorite part of school was getting our reading assignments. Rarely since my second grade year do I not have a book I am reading. I get to travel the world without leaving my home. I get to visit worlds unknown and meet people who inspire me.
When I hear people say, "I don't like to read" or "I don't have time to read" my heart hurts for them. My mind races to all the people and the places they are missing out on.
It is never to late to find your first love. Pick up a book!
