Ever since I was in elementary school and read The Diary of Anne Frank. I was fascinated with the idea of writing all life’s daily encounters in a diary. I was intrigued with the way she wrote her life in her diary, which she decided to call “Kitty” This was the first time that I was so invested into a book.

Throughout my many years in school, I would say that I never really enjoyed writing. Writing was more of a task to complete for me, whether it was for a class assignment or for a college application.
