My name is Kristi Raghavan, and I am currently a student at the University of Mew Mexico.  This semester in my children's literature class I have been given the opportunity to build this web page in hopes of helping others, especailly children, learn and grow through literature.  I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and love to spend time reading with them.  One of our favorite outings is to go to the local library.  It is because of my wonderful children, that I am once again attending college.  After years of starting and stopping, I am proud to say that I will be graduating this December with a Bachelors in University Studies.  When my children are older and at the cross roads in their lives, where they choose weither or not to attend college, I hope they will look back and remember their mother going to school.  That they will remember the importance an education has been to me in my life, and make it a priority in their's.
