I started writing when I was a freshman in high school. It started off small, only a bond between My friend and. The two of us decided to start writing in our English class. It was only for fun, we never really got to serious about it. But once my best friend moved to Japan I began to write more serious in order to keep the memory of my friend. Amanda inspired me to continue writing. Once sophomore year arrived I had written almost three stories. Like every writer, it took me years of practice before I got the hang of it. Even though I don't talk to my friend much anymore, she was my biggest inspiration to do what I love most. Without her I would have never discovered one of the best accomplishment in my life by far.
