I chose this photo in representation that even though we live in a tiny apartment and save our pennies there is hope for life beyond it. I feel books hold a key to the future. I have done my best to pass a love of reading onto my children in hopes that it will lead them to pursue higher education so they can have a better life. The neighborhood where we live is a working class neighborhood and my hope is someday they can move beyond living paycheck to paycheck. Balancing lack of funds with pursuit of an education is tough. I feel this photo is a good representation of the diversity of life and interests offset with scant means.
