Neveah Mosher, 13-Year-Old Reads Over 300 Books A Year

[Michael9100]

​

"Neveah Mosher -- a 13-year-old from the South Bronx -- read more in 2012 than some people do in their entire high school careers. According to HooplaHa.com, the middle schooler reads 300 books a year. This is a goal she set for herself because she wants to be the first person in her family to pursue higher education."

" 'To be able to read is the most wonderful thing ever,' Neveah said. 'When you’re reading, it’s like you’re in another world and you’re seeing something from somebody else’s eyes.' "

Reading is my therapy. Opens your mind and builds your imagination. I couldnt imagine life without books.

I love seeing stories like this. I wish that little girl the best.

That kind of mindset coupled with growing up in a marginalized community makes for the roses Tupac spoke of.
