This girl, Anna, she's a trivial person who is interested in gaining knowledge from every single source available, danger or no danger. Ever since she was born, books were like a safe refuge for her when the world got a little bit turbulent. As you can imagine, in kindergarten, not much knowledge is dispersed throughout the fifteen page pop-up books, but in the first grade, things change quite rapidly. It was a rainy October afternoon in a small private school in Moscow, where in one classroom, a teacher was handing out Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "Little Prince" out to her students. From that point on, the seed of reading was planted in Anna's mind, and she was thirsty to find out more about what secrets books held inside them.

Quite a few years had past, and before we knew it, Anna was already in high school, enduring the lengthy adaptation process among new friends and classmates. The first few weeks of school were a turbulent blur, and getting lost in the numerous halls became a routine thing. Despite the many different turns the days took, a kind of serene stability was present at Anna's English lessons, almost like a refuge from the noisy world. Since Anna had enlisted in the gifted/enriched program, it was obvious that the material they were going to revise was advanced for the grade nine level. And so, the roller coaster of literature began. From documentaries, fiction, and biographies to plays and poetry. Some time had passed, and at the midpoint of the semester came the turning point of Anna's literary life. She felt it happen, the moment the Macbeth book was gently placed on her desk, beckoning her nimble hands to flip through the pages.
My, my your love for reading truly shows in this post. You have a real talent for writing, unlike myself. This is really well thought-out and your large vocabulary is very impressive. I enjoyed reading your biography in the 3rd person view. I found it pretty clever.
