This is my first weekly update. But, since you barely know anything about me this is going to be a kind of an introduction. I live in Greenwich in New York City. I identify as female. I have two best friends. I go to school. I go to camp. I am an athlete, an artist, an actress, a singer, a writer. My favorite colors are purple, red, and blue. My lucky number is 11. I have a sister, a mom, a dad, a dog, and two cats. I know I sound like an ordinary person but the word ordinary describes no person. -Viv B

Wonder - R.J. Palacio “When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.” - Mr. Tushman. Wonder is an amazing insight into the brain of a child. Auggie is a regular ten year old boy who goes through middle school with craniofacial dysostosis. He faces best friends and bullies. I have to admit -and don’t get mad and stop reading- I have never read wonder but I’ve listened to the audiobook more times than I can count. From those listening's I have realized that this is more than just a book, it is a story. Books can be story’s but some aren’t. To me, a story is something the reader can identify with. A story is an amazing tool to pass down generations. A book is also an amazing tool but not every reader knows how to identify with it. Wonder is a story. -Viv B

Just because my path is different doesn’t mean I’m lost. - Gerard Abrams This is my first quote of the day because I consider myself to be a weirdo. So I thought, what could be a better quote for the first than one that represents me? So, this one is for all the weirdo’s out there. -Viv B
