The love of reading and writing is something that I place a premium on.  In my opinion, even the best formal schooling cannot compare to the learning that one experiences through reading and writing.  And it is best to start at a young age.  That is why I was very impressed when we got a submission from a very young blogger, Maroon Olivia Callins.  This is her future pen name and I am liking the sound of it.  For a refreshing read about life from a different perspective, I suggest heading over to Like A Garden.  A personal-writing blog, you’d be pleasantly surprised at what a teenage mind can share with you.
