When I was younger, my mother introduced me to Enid Blyton books, and that basically propelled me into a life long interest in reading. I currently read a lot of young adult fiction, and poetry.
My interest in this encouraged me to attend social events, such as book clubs and open mic poetry.

Growing up, I was obsessed with every teenage musical that came out at the time. High School Musical, Camp Rock, Lemonade Mouth, Starstruck, you name it! They were great conversation starters , and forms of common interests with others. I still watch them over and over again.

During grade 1 to 5, I spent most of my weekdays at my grandmother's home, because she lived close to my school at that time. This availed me the opportunity to create close bonds with my cousins, who spent most of their time there as well.

I am an only child of a single mother. My father passed away when I was six years old, and it has been me and my mom ever since. Over the years, our relationship has transcended from just being mother and daughter, and I truly consider her to be one of my best friends!
