Celebrating Our Journey
The
Oklahoma Literacy Resource Office is pleased to share the most recent
collection of stories written by adult learners from throughout the
state. Celebrating Our Journey, Volume 7 contains the works of more
than 170 authors who wrote about Celebration and Tradition, Struggles
and Victories, Travel and Adventure, Wisdom and Learning, and Poetry. This
powerful and heartfelt collection is a testament to the dedication
of Oklahoma learners, volunteer tutors, and literacy instructors.
Celebrating Our Journey was funded under the Library Services and Technology Act and the Institute of Museum of Library Services.
Following is an excerpt from Orsiris Burgy's story, "Stepping Stones." Orsiris is from the New Dimension Literacy Council in Ardmore, Oklahoma:
Sometimes we see life as being extremely difficult, but in our hearts there is a quiet voice that says, “Yes, we can carry out our dreams.” We dream about the perfect life, and the perfect love, but we forget that with dreams come struggles…. Don’t think of your struggles as being bad. Think of them as stepping stones to a bright future. I Am A Winner!
