Taravella High School, who served on the literacy committee

"I hope that the students will come away from this Skype call encouraged that they too can become an author if that is their desire,” said Scotty Sanders. “I believe in encouraging young people to dream big. They need to know they cannot let their own doubts or the cynicism of others allow them to limit themselves."
