#PJ Ellis - Module 6 - Dictionaries
#For this assignment, we will work with dictionaries. 
#Create a program that includes a dictionary of a topic that interests you. 
#Your dictionary should include at least 10 different key-value pairs. 
#For this program, the key values may be a number or string. 
#Display all the key values to the user asking them to select one, 
#and then display the value paired to the key.
