Dreams Are Of No Value If They

My Husband And I Had To Raise Five Of My Younger Brothers And Sisters. They Lived With Us. We Sent Them To School.

I Do Remember How It Was To Be Poor. I Do Remember That In My Early Years, We Had To Grow And Raise All Of Our Food, Even Our Animals. And I Remember In My Early Life, We Didn't Even Have Electricity. So It Was Very, Very Hard Times Then.

When The New Country Came Out Ten To 15 Years Ago, People My Age Were Almost Too Old. But It Never Stopped Me. I Never Stopped Writing. I Never Stopped Recording.

Being Born Was The Worse And The First Mistake I Ever Made. The Doctor Didn't Spank Me, He Just Slapped Me In The Face.

We Give Scholarships To High School Kids And A New Library Of Books To Every Preschool Child In The County Where I Was Born. I Didn't Have Books At Home So I Did All My Reading At School. I Love Books And I Believe That Helping Kids To Read Gives Them A Great Start In Life.
