through the list of book we can read for extra credit, the title caught my attention. “An Officer And A Junkie” by Michael Winder. I imagined it was going to be a story of two men; an officer and a junkie, and not of one guy who was an officer and a junkie.

Harry Potter has been a part of me for over half of my life. My family began reading it together when I was in first grade, on a recommendation from my grandmother. I immediately fell in love.
