Last week Ellie spent many long hours finishing up a project she started last summer. I could not be more proud that this kid set her sights on a goal and accomplished it. Ellie finished book 7 of the Harry Potter series. That is 1,090,739 words and 3363 pages. Monumental!
I wouldn’t say it was against all odds, but she didn’t start out as a big reader and she mentally was competing with friends who are faster readers. She didn’t let either of those things discourage her and actually completed this momentous project just a few days before we leave for our trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
What did she have to say for herself? She closed the book, looked at me and said…’Can I start the Percy Jackson series tonight?’
Be still my heart!
