The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level.A few weeks before the school year ended,I held an award ceremony.It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit;I needed something positive,but there wasn’t really much.I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader.”I presented Ronny with his certificate and a book.
A few days later,I returned to the school to visit.I saw Ronny read the book.His teacher appeared beside me.“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him.It’s the first book he’s ever actually owned.”
Fighting back tears,I approached Ronny and asked,“Will you read me your book,Ronny?”He glanced up and nodded.
And then,for the next few minutes,he read to me with more expression,clarity,and ease than I’d ever thought possible for him.When he finished reading,Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book.”
At that moment,I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done,and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life,care enough to make a difference.
I want to be that author.
