"By believing that only some of our students will ever develop a love of books and reading, we ignore those who do not fall into books and reading on their own. We renege on our responsibility to teach students how to become self-actualized readers. We are selling our students short by believing that reading is a talent and that lifelong reading behaviors cannot be taught."

You donâ€™t see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what theyâ€™re good at, so why should women? While I get that thereâ€™s a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your rÃ©sumÃ©, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what youâ€™ve managed to achieve! Own it!”
