Introduction

As I am about to embark on the last two semester of my undergraduate college career I have learned that there are two things a teacher must possess to be successful...passion and determination.  Passion is what drives us to do the things we love no matter the success or failure.  With passion we must also have determination to help us find strength during the times of failure.  These two characteristics are what I want to instill in my students when reading all different kinds of literature.  I want reading to be a passion of all my students as it is a passion of my own.  Reading is something that students should connect to and reading should challenge the thinking and beliefs of students.  I strongly believe the more people read and expose themselves to literature of the world the more they will grow as an individual.  I look forward writing about my passion of literature and how it will affect myself, my students and anyone else interested in listening.
