J.K. Rowling, one of the wealthiest authors ever, faced immense hardship while writing Harry Potter: poverty, domestic abuse, and the death of her mother. Her resilience amidst these struggles fueled her legendary story. #JKRowling #Resilience #Inspiration

REIGNITING A LOVE FOR HISTORY
He wrote his first history series at age 12 because the textbooks were boring. So he created History Bites to make the past fun, visual, and unforgettable.
@S_historybites: “History can be fun if it’s presented the right way.”

Thank you, departed warriors of America.
Today, I find myself thinking particularly of those who perished in Vietnam. The U.S. government was tarnished because of this war, but that does not change the heroism of those who exchanged a life of peace for a jungly grave far away.
