Do you ever have those moments where you think back to your childhood and remember those toys you were obsessed with? What about those TV shows that you would watch until you realize that you actually still watch them to this day? Lately, I have rediscovered some of my favorite childhood books. As I am student teaching in an elementary school, I get to see all the books that the students are checking out, wishing that I could get a moment to read some of my favorites. Here are some of my favorite books that I read in elementary school:

1. Junie B. Jones

I'm pretty sure I read every one of these chapter books. The character was so crazy and entertaining.

2. Madeline

I always loved the illustrations in this book. I always felt like I could relate to Madeline because I was also always the smallest girl in my classes.

3. A Series of Unfortunate Events

I remember always checking out every book in this series in the library. These books were so different compared to any book I read at the time and I couldn't wait to read the next one.

4. Amelia Bedelia

I would read this story all the time. It's just one of those books that makes you happy.

5. David Goes to School

I always found the David books to be funny even to this day.

6. Goosebumps

I remember all the cool kids were reading these books. I always got scared reading these books. I remember watching one of the books called, "The Haunted Mask," in a film and it still freaks me out to this day.

7. Dr. Seuss Books

Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? My favorites has to be the classic "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Lorax."

8. Curious George

Who doesn't love monkeys?

9. Captain Underpants

The chapter books that I found to be hilarious. A superhero wearing underpants? Awesome.

10. Harry Potter Series

When I started the Harry Potter obsession which soon took over my life.

11. My America Series

I loved how these books were written like diaries from another time. This was also when I grew to love historical fiction.

12. A Little Princess

The book that I read over and over because I loved it so much. The film was also so well done.

13. So B. It

The children's book that I still have to this day. It was the first book that I read that really talked about disabilities. One of my absolute favorite books.

14. Big Sister and Little Sister

This is a book that will always have a special place with me because it is a book that my sister and I would read together. I also still hold on to this children's book.

There are so many other great and unforgettable children's book that I read when I was a kid that I could include here. These books were part of my childhood and I love getting the chance to see these books and look back on them. These books helped me to discover my passion for reading.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
