Oh no. Not again.

I do not exactly have a "role model" or a "hero" in my life. Although if I had to choose a person that I admire I would have to choose Sarah Dessen. Like I have said before in older posts, she is my favorite author. Her books make me happy, and sad. They make me hate and love, but most of all they make me feel, something I try not to do often. They make me think and feel things that I don't want to face. I love her for so much more than just her writing though. Of course I wish I could write half as well as she can, but I also wish I had her lifestyle. She is happily married with children, living in North Carolina. She also graduated with Honors in Creative Writing. This is what I have always wanted to do when I was older. I want to write and make people happy with my book. I want people to feel the connection with the characters like I do in Sarah's book. I hope I can get the chance to meet her one day and let her know how much she has impacted my life.
