Writing True

Encyclopedias

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I remember,

the many afternoons with my father,

when I have to read and learn

about the earth and the solar system,

different animals, and plants.

I have to read aloud

and he would correct my pronunciation;

He would also add his input as often as he can.

It resulted to me

earning straight A from grade school to college

in Science, Math, and English.

But with all honesty,

what truly mattered to me,

were the tender moments with my father.

He passed away when I was twelve,

But I benefited from his legacy as a parent—

And that is, not to limit myself with what the

Schools provide

And to read and learn voraciously.
