This was my 1st grade "Flat Stanley" assignment where my grandmother took my Flat Stanley cut-out to Jamaica ]]> 2020-09-17 10:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754676914 mattdalomba https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754681382 When I was a kid in elementary and middle school, I thought the fantasy setting was the coolest thing ever. I read many fantasy series in my free time including "Ranger's Apprentice", "The Hobbit", "Artemis Fowl".]]> 2020-09-17 10:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754681382 mattdalomba https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754686927 Once I had to read the same book three years in a row for class. Normally, I would enjoy do this but the book we were rereading was "Tuck Everlasting" which I didn't even like the first time I read it. All I can say is that I had a hard time relating to or understanding any of the decisions made by any of the characters. And don't even get me started on the film adaptation.]]> 2020-09-17 10:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754686927 mattdalomba https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754694719 The oldest recorded story of Gilgamesh King of Uruk and his adventure through life.

I jumped right in, reading "Dune", Isaac Asimov's Empire Series, and numerous Star Wars novels.]]> 2020-09-17 10:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754700545 mattdalomba https://padlet.com/mattdalomba/vi9p2p0d8ook3rf1/wish/754706069 In 2016, as the election started to heat up, I took an interest in politics and began regularly reading articles from many sources.
