How often have you thought, “Why is this happening to me?” and “I am experiencing something I never thought I would experience.”
While reading I Wasn’t Suppose to be Here by Jonathan Conyers, the thought came to my mind.
Jonathan Conyers story is not only a remarkable one, but it is one of those stories you wouldn’t believe unless he told you himself or you read about it. In the words of Conyers, “It took an army to raise me! I needed to start assembling my village to survive my circumstances.”Jon went from being in Reading Recovery in kindergarten to being at the top of his classes in high school and college. He had the most passionate people on his team who helped him reach his ultimate goal! I remember reading Jonathan Conyers’ story when it was featured on Humans of New York and I obviously knew his story was compelling. It will definitely be in my top ten of 2023 and a non-fiction recommendation for Miss T’s book club before the year is out.
