The Moore Family
My name is Leboria Moore and I had the golden opportunity to take a Spanish class at EastSide University. And while I did learn a great deal of Spanish and more of the history of the language and culture, I was also gifted with brand new books for not just myself but also for my kids as well. My children names and ages are: (left to right:) Ja’Zion Moore (14,) Niven Moore (12), and Kymani Moore (10). With that box of books, I made a rule that they had to read an entire book to earn money and other rewards. I can happily say that they not only read the one book I requested but read several other books from the box on their own and began requesting more books to read. We now have a small library that we continue to add to. The books we received helped to garner an interest in reading for my children that I hadn’t seen in the years since they discovered social media and technology and for this, I am truly grateful because like most parents of young children, I worry about how too much technology will negatively affect them academically as well as socially.

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
- Nelson Mandela
