deliabookworm | 15 comments I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago. I guess I like it...although I didn't really like her "Walk Two Moons" cliche of "imagining" what's it's like for other, worse-off people. But I did think the rest of it was amazing.

My dad doesn't know anything about Harry Potter except for there is some dude named Harry Potter. When I was coloring in my 300 page jumbo HP coloring book he was asking me about their uniform and who the people are. That's right, he better get used to me living with him for another 10 years.

Kosha (koshar) | 16 comments That speech makes me want to cry every single time I read it. It's so inspiring, and I have to agree with both Rutvi and Aneri...

My parents may not like J.K. Rowling, but she'll still always be my role model and the person I want to grow up to be. To inspire more people and convince them that there will always be hope, no matter what happens.

How many of you feel that way?
