The woman had been out of work for months! “Thank you, Joanna，” I said.I hadnt expected a gift I work at an adult education center, where we deal with people every day who struggle economically.

Perhaps the way I could help my son understand best was for me to do first.Immediately, I went to my bookshelf and chose several of my favorite novels to share with the center.
