Reflections

When I was 5 years old, I was the first in my kindergarten class to independently finish reading my first book: Green Eggs and Ham. That passion for reading eventually materialised into a bachelor's and master's degree in Literature. But at that time, my English teacher and mother found it challenging to make me show any interest in writing. I never had a good handwriting in any of the 5 languages I speak.
By the age of 13 many things changed. I didn't stop reading. But something else grew within me: the passion for writing. After reading a published short story about the miseries of a correction pen that made home in my pencil case, everyone got convinced I will one day become a published author. I have ever since tried my best to write and get published. Bits and pieces in journals, and of course books.
