Chris loves to read, write, and share. Luckily for him he met Trieu who was open to listening. 

In this magical learning adventure, Chris reads a book, writes a reflection based on what he learned and how it has been applied to his life, and then shares it with Trieu. After that, the fun ensues as Chris and Trieu discuss the ideas presented.
