When I was a kid，if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy（讀寫(xiě)能力）foundation，I would have laughed and kept walking.Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book，My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World，I shake my head，not quite believing that book has my name on it.But the truth is，this story comes from my own personal experience.
    It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice.In Valdosta，GA.，where I grew up，my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me：being an athlete and being an entertainer.I was no different than the other kids，so I did what felt natural：Play football and overlook school.School presented challenges every day and so did football practice，but overcoming physical adversity was on trend with my neighborhood's culture.Reading books not so much.
    Fortunately，I went to college.That's where my reading struggles really appeared.Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food.I would misread labels and grab the wrong items.Once，I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices.I didn't notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake.I realized that I needed to make an important decision.If I wanted to be a better version of me，I had to become a stronger reader.
    I joined a book club and read every free moment I had.My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading.So I started a nonprofit，Share the Magic Foundation，trying to transform the lives of children living in undeserved communities through literacy.

3．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
   I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
   The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
   The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
   Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
   At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
   By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
   By mile 21，I was starving!
   As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
   I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
   Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標(biāo)簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".
