I remember when I was in elementary school I had entered a contest to meet an author. I had to write something, and somehow or another, I had won! I think I was in 4th or 5th grade. I don’t remember much about what I had written, or about the day itself, but I do remember being proud and excited. We went to a different school, had lunch, and got something signed by the author. The best part? I got to meet the author. Back then, I thought I was meeting a movie star. The author was Thacher Hurd, and the book I remember reading was Mama Don’t Allow. It was such a special time for me. School was a place where I loved to go. I could escape to a place where I had friends, my teachers liked me and I did pretty well in my studies. (I’m no genius or anything, but I did okay.) Meeting the author was even better. I was proud to have been chosen to meet him. The event gave me confidence that I could be someone famous like that. (I’m still waiting for that to happen.) đ
