The Power of Literacy

Abstract

When I was six years old, I fell in love. I was utterly infatuated and exhibited resistance to change due to this newfound love. It was a love so deep that sentimentalists would envy it. I was not in love with a person, but with the composition that lay before me. I was entranced by Dr. Suess' The Cat in the Hat, the first book I've ever owned in English.
