I am from the U.S. I love to read, write, learn, and watch TV-mostly anime now-, definitely.  I do other things in my free time, as well as softball, a bit of volleyball, and I'm going to start rugby soon, too!  I have recently started to write fanfictions and stories after learning I could.  It was mostly teachers that motivated me to write, so I'm following what I think I can improve in.  So far, everyone here understands, supports, and reads my stories.  Thanks to everyone who does!
