During the gathering, she explained more about the book. “It’s about a fly who isn’t so good at school, is curious, and wanders off into a space company – I don’t know why I picked a space company, but I did – and gets caught in a capsule and gets to see the world with this incredible view. And she looks at the planet, and goes, ‘Wait a second – this planet is so precious.’” And when she comes down, she says ‘Well I wanted to be an astronaut, now I want to save this beautiful planet.’ And that becomes her goal.”
On Sunday, September 15th, Lauren was surprised by her Community College teacher who reportedly changed the course of her life. Lori showed support for the author at a book signing at Vronman’s Bookstore. According to Lauren's team, she has been very outspoken about how important Lori has been in helping her overcome challenges, including dyslexia.

She’s the one who recognized my challenges, got me tested for dyslexia. Lori, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your belief in me changed my life,” she said.
