Earlier on this morning I received a package with my name and school address. The package was small, square, and soft. I carefully ripped it open, trying so hard not to wreck it. As I slipped my hand in and felt the soft bubble wrap, I smiled and pulled the object out and found a book. I turned the package to have another look and saw it was from Duffy Books in Homes.
This wasn't just any book. This was BEN CARSON'S GIFTED HANDS! I was so overwhelmed!! I saw a small letter, read as fast as I could and grabbed the bubble-wrapped book and and saw that Ben Carson himself had signed: 'Best Wishes, Ben Carson'. I shrieked with excitement. The reason I had received this book, was because earlier on this year I entered a writing competition about reading, and why and how it would help me in the future with want I want to do. It turns out I was one of the five winners of the competition!!! And now I have the honour of reading his journey to greatness. Thank you SO SO SO MUCH DUFFY BOOKS IN HOMES!!!!!!!!

Well done Toreka!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I remember thinking that your letter that you emailed to the Duffy foundation and to Dr Ben Carson was fantastic. I am really glad that you were one of the five lucky people to win an autographed copy of the book 'Gifted Hands'. Well done you!
