35. Student comments:
Did attending TBF give you any ideas about your own future
career?
Yes. Seeing all of these authors, getting to meet them, and
getting to hear them speak and talk with them, gives me a
deeper incentive to write. I want to be standing where they
are someday, speaking to kids about reading and writing
and helping them to succeed in life.
