Abigor spent his entire life in Valley of Wahe. He was told as a boy that when he matured into manhood that he would learn to leave the valley behind and start a new path. Abigor cautiously approached the grounds of the valley’s forest with timidity in his stomach. His heart was racing so fast that he thought it was going to burst from his chest. So here I am. Abigor thought to himself. I have been dreading this day for months and now it’s finally here. My mother and father never prepared me for the emotional turmoil that I am feeling right now.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: JK Rowling
Around late 1999 my big sister Rudy came home from school one day with a book in her hand. I noticed that there was a boy with glasses who riding what looked like a broomstick on the cover of the book. When I asked her what was the name of the book she was carrying she told me it was called Harry Potter and it’s about a boy who goes to school where he does magic. My first impression of the book was well it sounds like typical kids stuff but I’m not really interested in it. What I didn’t realize was that this book would become one of my favorite stories ever and the woman who wrote it would later become one of my heroes of writing. Her name is JK Rowling and she is an incredible woman who has inspired me as a writer.
