Why I am Blogging about World Literature


Books, books and more books…this is how I felt when I kept receiving books for my world literature class. Reading is something that I was never overly involved in, unless it dealt with dog training or dogs. With age I have become more accepting of books that didn’t involve dogs; they actually had to deal with my classes and things I could relate too.  I grew up in the little town of Pulaski, Wisconsin which for some reason still managed to have a huge high school for such a small town. This only meant that in order to be with your friends and see people you had to drive about a half hour to see them.
 Since we lived in a small town my family loved to travel. We have traveled all around the United States and we make sure we have a family trip at least once a year. As I started traveling I have always been inspired by my family to do what I want in life. My uncle, who moved to California and became a police officer, is now a famous television writer. My mom, who lives in Green Bay, became a teacher. While my aunt opened her own old time photo shop down in Missouri also followed her dreams. This leads me to where I am today, Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, dual majoring in Special Education and Elementary Education. In this blog you will be able to follow some of my own travels through school, starting with my world literature class.
