Don't judge a book by its cover, after all the innocent ones are always the ones you look out for. I'm a teen, we may have more in common than you think.
We all want it: ticktock fame, Instagram fame, more snap friends, possibly even for some of us YouTube subscribers. This is the digital age, my name is Violet. Yeah I know, like the gum-chewer in Charlie and the Chocolate factory, yes I am named after her, no not the flower. I know what you're thinking, wow pathetic. Yes but actually no.
My parents are both avid book readers, my mother works at a law firm and so she is always reading and analyzing cases. On the other hand my father is a pediatrician! I know I know, wow so you're rich rich huh? Well this is MY STORY you don't know anything, don't be so quick to judge.
I don't know what's going to happen but all I do know is that this is my story, I want to be famous and I will be. Remember my name in lights when you see it 'Violet Sitaras'! This is my journey.
Thus join me ladies and gentlemen!
Let the games begin!
