Reading Minute (outside reading)

Scratch Beginnings
By Adam Shepard

For my reading minute i decided to read a book that i just started reading. This book is called Scratch Beginnings and is written by Adam Shepard. This book is about Adam search to find the "American Dream" still alive today. Adam thinks that the American Dream is starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top to achieve success. Adam started a new life with 25 dollars, a duffel bag, the clothes on his back, and nothing more. His goal was to make 2,500 dollars, have a working car, and a furnished apartment in one year. I am not to far in this book yet but I really like it so far and i think it has a good message to read to the class.
