Candi Perry Supports Literacy.
Before I was born, my mother read to me while I was in the womb.
Before I took my first breath. my mother was preparing the next book she was going to read to me after my birth.
Before I spoke my first word, my mother had shown it to me in a book.
Before I could walk, she walked me through parks, danced me through Ballrooms, and took me ice skating in some of the finest Coliseum's. She did this through the books she brought to life through the joyful, passionate and loving way that only a mother could.
Before I entered the doors of the University I engulfed myself in my Etymology class. My Mother saw the sparks in my eyes and knew then, that her days of actively teaching me the power of reading, was done.
I've always been an avid reader and I support it in every respect.
Thank you Mother for teaching me to read. I followed your same literacy steps with my children, and they, with theirs. What a legacy you are leaving the jewels of my life.
Thank you Dean Tolson for working tirelessly to bring literacy to as many hearts and minds of the youth as possible. May you receive all the financial support necessary to fulfill your Dreams of bringing literacy to as many as possible.
