Ray read a supplemental reading book in second grade and liked the author, Mr. Hahn, very much. He wrote to him and got in touch. By sixth grade, for a school assignment, he became even more closely connected with Mr. Hahn. In his letters, Ray revealed the truth about his parents' divorce, his difficulties adapting to a new school, and his inner loneliness. Through his correspondence with Mr. Hahn, Ray not only learned how to face life but also understood why his parents couldn't live together, felt their love for him, and honed his writing skills. A story he wrote about his trip with his dad in a truck earned him a nomination for the Young Writers' Competition, further solidifying his determination to become a renowned young writer.
