	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year, I am always dedicating a portion of my time organizing book drives, implementing children's book festivals, and other events geared toward helping our youth excel in reading, writing, or some type of literacy activity. I consider this paying it forward because the children who participate in these events gain knowledge, increase their self-esteem, and have the ability to pay it forward to others like them in the future. Please read below for two events on how I am paying it forward and how you also can pay it forward:</span></span>

	Youth Political Event (Ohio)

	It is very detrimental that we assist our youth by providing them with the tools to be successful. I had a literacy advocate as a child, who helped me enroll in reading programs, math programs, and kept me mentally engaged into reading and writing. My aunt was the literacy advocate. She provided me with a world outside of my neighborhood through books.
