@aly_raisman We now understand that bad days are not curse but a gift since even though in the moment bad days can be painful, they teach us to appreciate the good days even more. #wereadANDlearn
@halseanderson makes her book, "Speak" very relatable because it provides the perspective of a teenager in high school. “Homework is not an option. My bed is sending out serious nap rays."

@Marie_Lu “Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment...” We now understand that sometimes it is necessary to let go, make an arbitrary decision, just let loose and ... exist. #wereadANDlearn

"Because when you're not considered a threat, you can get away with much more." @johnmarrs1 We now understand that even if one appears to be nonthreatening, they can pose a great threat. We understand not to judge by appearance. #wereadANDlearn
@NicolaYoon We now understand that people each have their own individual struggles and sometimes they just want to be free of all responsibilities. Everyone is going through something, even though they hide it. #wereadANDlearn
@jenniferniven "You are wanted. You are necessary." We now understand how a few lines can have such an impact on people's lives. We may not know the painful things our close friends go through, but simple lines like yours can change all of our lives. #wereadANDlearn
