==As a kid, I had an expensive habit: books. I would read any book my parents bought me — and then beg for another. So they decided to save their bank account. They bought me [[w:Jane Eyre|''Jane Eyre'']]. ==
That huge novel took me forever to finish, but I fell in love. In fifth grade, we were assigned to teach our classmates about any subject we chose. I lectured on nineteenth century literature.
Today, I’m an English professor. I also contribute to Wikipedia, editing articles about writers like Mary Shelley, the author of [[w:Frankenstein|''Frankenstein'']], and Jane Austen, who wrote [[w:Pride and Prejudice|''Pride and Prejudice'']].
When I think of my work on Wikipedia, I don't just think of myself as someone who adds information; I think of myself as a teacher. Through Wikipedia, my reach extends far beyond any classroom. In the past month alone, Wikipedia's article on [[w:Jane Austen|Jane Austen]] has been viewed more than 144,000 times.
At my university, I have access to many quality resources. But most people can't access these sources; they’re hidden behind a paywall. By editing Wikipedia, I can help fix this injustice.
I love learning. I always have. Which is why I believe so strongly that it should be available to everyone.
Do you agree? Then please join me in supporting Wikipedia.
