Passions, I am passionate about many things, and I can’t say for certain what I am more passionate about between all of them; for instance, before my fourth grade, I hated reading, and the idea of it I found to be boring. But then I picked up the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, and from there on out, reading was my passion.

Along the way, I picked up several more. In fact, video games are also one of my passions, along with writing. To be honest, recently, I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I absolutely love it. That’s not to say Baldur’s Gate is a passion, except that this game was what made me realize that what I’m really passionate about is great stories.

 I’m a true sucker for a good story.
