Fun Fact No. 528

As I go through my law school career, I feel it is important that I pay back my community and share some knowledge that I have learned throughout this journey. My goal is to help at least one person who reads this. 

I would hate for everyone to have to go to law school in order to get what I am about to share with you!   

Fun Fact No. 528: After you leave work and go to the law library so that you may be well prepared for school, be sure NOT to leave your vehicle lights on. 

If your vehicle lights are left on and you are away from your vehicle for more than a couple of hours, your car will not start and you will essentially be stranded. 

Especially do not do said action if your phone is dead and you are in the middle of Downtown in a not so nice neighborhood, which houses nothing but stray cats and an occasional drifter.

Really do not do said action if once you do get your car "jumped" and running after you leave class at 9:30 p.m. you realize that you are almost out of gas and you have no clue where a "safe" gas station is.

I hope this information has helped you as it will hopefully help me in the future.

Children's Book Drive

Although I normally only use my money making blog for selfish reasons in order to better my "career" and although I am normally not the fondest of children, today I decided to have a change of heart and help out my community.

In Fact, I feel I have a slight duty to pass the word along about a Children's Book Drive taking place in Morgan Hill, California. 

Before I give you the information to the above stated Children's Book Drive, I would like to take the opportunity to apologize to the parents that own children in which Dylan has already attacked or may attack in the future. 

I promise it is not personal when Dylan attacks your innocent little creation. My little prince attacks me as well.  

Now that we are on the same page and getting a fresh start, for your future reference, when you see this walking by ("Exhibit A") , keep your children's hands, feet, eyes, elbows and fingers at a 10 foot distance:

"Exhibit A"

I also believe it to be important to spread the word of said Children's Book Drive for the following reasons:

1. I think every kid should grow up reading Dr. Sues and not be forced by their older siblings to watch movies such as E.T., The Labyrinth or Bevis & Butthead.

2.  I think every child inherently loves to learn and read. If we encourage their love for reading and keep them interested now, maybe that excitement will continue into graduate school as it did for me. 

3. I think reading builds confidence and  building confidence in little children will help them succeed throughout life. 

So, if you would like to get involved, the Children's Book Drive/Donation will be held at Stratford School which is located at 410 Llagas Road, Morgan Hill, CA on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The Stratford School Student Council is working with The Children's Book Project to collect books for children in need.

They ask that you look through your old book bins and drop off your "gently used" or "no longer wanted" children's books. 

All of the children's books will be delivered to children charities throughout the Bay Area.

“Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him. ” ~~ Maya Angelou

P.S. Just to reiterate my point, if someone donated books to me when I was little, maybe I would have learned to spell "Dr Seuss" correctly. (See Misspelling Above)
