Books have opened up my world of creative thinking and the wonders of my imagination. My values were molded by everything from the Magic Treehouse to the Star Wars mythos because these stories have expanded my knowledge inof philosophy, politics, and ideology. Through extensive reading, I have used the Iinternet to dive into character studies, converse with authors, and enter debate forums. These experiences have shaped me into the diverse person I am today,: a thinker, a contrarian, and an enthusiastic writer.

Traveling on a train at the mere age of four, I was given a set of earphones to listen to my first book, Magic Treehouse by Mary Pope Osborn. Exploring through Jack and Annie's eyes, I uncovered the mysteries of Merlin. These riveting enigmas led me to the lands of dinosaurs and the mystical world of wizards. I unraveled riddles and explored historical events. My view of the world quickly expanded beyond my bedroom, and my desire to delve into the history and the sciences took root.
