David Gray searches for books MATC students will enjoy reading.

Instead of recommending several books, I am focusing on one book suggestion for MATC Times readers. It is: The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz.

The author’s intent in the book is to help readers explore freedom, happiness and love. The central point is that a person’s life is determined by agreements they have made with themselves, others, God and society as a whole.

This book was referred to me by my mom, Annie V. Gray. And the reason I chose it is because I feel it touches all aspects of life.

It is a very popular book that’s been on the New York Times best seller list for more than a decade. It has sold more than 15 million copies in the U.S. alone. I suggest you check it out.

About the Contributor
Christopher D’Allen
Christopher D’Allen, Editor-in-Chief
My name is Christopher D'Allen and I am the Editor-in-Chief for the MATC Times, a student run paper dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in scholastic journalism. The MATC Times stands as the voice of our students and a bastion of free speech for the communiy we represent. I joined the staff in my first semester at MATC and obtained my current position at the start of Summer '23. Here I am a photography student and hold a BA in Political Science and Spanish & Latin American Studies with a minor in Democracy and Justice Studies. I have worked an Administrative Assistant, World Language Instructor, a Head Lifeguard and Resident Assistant, but have found that my passion lies in the arts. As a photographer, I challenge myself daily to find a new perspective, capture a fleeting scene and turn moments into memories. As we work to relaunch the MATC Times website and grow our staff, I want to make joining our team as positive a learning experience and beneficial a work experience as possible. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and inclusivity. As an Editor, I actively encourage diverse perspectives. Each student's unique viewpoint enriches our storytelling and fosters a sense of unity within our community. I aim to bridge the gap between words and images, revealing the untold stories that shape our community.
