 @bc602e9a As a kid, I was kind of hesitant to read, I was obsessed with movies, music, and playing with my dolls, dreaming of being a princess, which was kind of a mistake... But closer to my later years near the end of elementary school, I fell in love with books, especially when my teachers restricted a couple books from my learning, namely Trumpet of the Swan and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, they said it was too advanced for me. Reading them now. :) #WritingCommunity #bookstadon

Love Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I think I still own the paperback.

I hate it when teachers restrict students. They are supposed to encourage learning, not gatekeep.
