The coldest winter ever:)

I love to read all types of books.although I do not read much when I do read I enjoy it.reading a book is like watching T.V. except you are the director, actors or actress. you can imagine any thing you want while you are reading. there are books on anything that you want to learn the key is reading. The women in my family love to read. so I gusse I get my passion for reading from them. I hardly ever see my grandmother without a book in her hand and my mom was the same way. I read Health books, to gain knowledge of ways to improve my health. psych books, to gain knowledge so that can be prepared for my major, and cook books, so I can know how to cook healthy but tasteful. My favorite books to read are love, drama and mystery all in one or better know as urban books. My first novel and urban book I ever read was called Fly Girls, the author of the book was Omar Tyree. I was 14 yrs old similar to the character. so I related with her in many ways. we had similar curiosity about life. the only different was our in living enviorment . she grew up in the ghetto and I was growing up in the suburbs. she had a mom who did not care where she went or want she did. me and my mom were like best friends so I did not understand how some ones mom can treat them unkind. after reading the book I realized I had question about life. After I shared the book and my questions with my mom she answered them and gave me another book to read. she told me that this book is about the facts of life and if I never listened to any advice she ever gave me that I would after I read this book. the author was Sista Souljiah and the book was called The Coldest Winter Ever. this is my favorite book of all time. sure it might be just another Urban book to some people but to me it a part of me growing from a curious little girl into a women. I get chills ever time I think of this book. its about a girl named winter who over comes struggles in the ghetto with the help of her teacher. she got into college through a scholarship and worked for every thing she had. her college experience was so mind blowing from the people she met to the thing she did wowwww this book had me on the edge of my seat. I Love this book and I have never read another book like it and the fact that my mother gave it to me at the right time in my life is even better. this book thought me that no matter where you come for what you did in your past or what you do now you can over come any stereo type. And education is the key:)
