Creating alternate money systems to eliminate lack and poverty

I have always been fascinated by travel. From simple night drives to family tours and school field trips, I never miss a chance to get out and explore. I wish to travel the world one day. While circumstances limit this dream I hold, it didn’t stop me from discovering a different journey, one through books. That was how my passion for reading grew, as an extension of my dream for travel. I can proudly say that I have experienced many unique worlds within my bedroom. Reading became my companion from a very young age, and my dad only fueled my love for it with all the literary works he bought me. I believe it was all the worlds that I read about that led me to create my own. My book came into life from an actual dream, lots of free time, and a pen and paper. A young 7th grader, sitting in class and scribbling away. Now those scribbles are out and about in the world, and I couldn’t be prouder of my younger self. It took years before her work saw the light, but now that it has, she has given me a new confidence that I never knew I had.
