HOME & THE BOOK SHELF;; "Hey there Angie, remember me? You have always been able to see me, I've always been sitting in the room across from your bed.

Thanks for keeping me so organized by series/title." WORK & THE REGISTER;; "I know I'm not your favorite part about working at Marshalls', but don't give up on me yet!

You went from barely being able to pronounce simple words to flying through the pages of my book. I am very impressed with myself, for my rhyming scheme throughout my story helped me teach you to read in an easier setting."

COMMUNITY & WALK-MAN;; "Remember me? Your beloved walkman? You used to take me everywhere

you went. I would come with you on your walks to and from school, and I would sit in your backpack until you were ready to use me again. I taught you literacy through music and helped you better express yourself through song verses and lyrics."
