I have always been a good writer, and so when I am asked what I want to be when I grow up, being a writer is always on the list. Of course, I have wanted to be many other things, including teacher, inventor, and scientist, but I have always wanted to be a writer.

Being able to travel and have international experiences would help me write well, because I could have more diversity in my different books. The characters could seem more real, if I knew many different cultures and how they could represent each character. Traveling could also come in handy if I needed an inspiration. There are so many life stories out there, and a book could be made from each and every one of them. I could make my books more exiting with real-life situations that I learned from someone, somewhere.
