My name is Brent Hegwood. When I was three years old, I was diagnosed with autism. A doctor told me that I would never be good at reading or writing. Despite this, books quickly became a favorite of mine. Fiction or non-fiction, old or new, it didn’t matter. So long it was interesting, I wanted to read it. And it was books that opened up my world.
Now, I’m a graduate of Texas A&M University, Class of 2018. I also teach middle school kids who struggle with disabilities much like the ones I had. And today, I want to share my love of reading with all of you.
Throughout my life, there were two constants that have aided me in my journey: God and family. The Lord laid the path before me to travel, and my parents walked beside me, catching me whenever I stumbled. I’m eternally grateful to both of them.
My mother wanted me to start this blog in order to share my story, to talk about the kinds of things that interest me. Now, I want to share my love of books with the world. I want to dedicate more blog posts to the kinds of books I read.
Who knows? You might come to love reading as much I do!
