My name is Masoumah and i am a year 8 student. I live in Adelaide, Australia and English is my second language (so if there is something that doesn't make sense, I'm sorry).

I like writing a lot but I especially like reading. Reading makes me calm down and it takes me to a whole another world where there is me and the characters.

I'm very sarcastic and sometimes sassy but I guess that's who I am and I wouldn't want to be anyone else. I don't judge or criticize people by what they look like, how the speak or where they're from; I judge people by their attitude and the way they act around others. I'm not a mean person and I respect everyone for who they are and I want people to respect me for who I am as well. I don't like it when people think they can just walk all over me and tell me what to do. I'm confident and I hate those who think they can just control other people's life. I hate people who let others be mean to them and bully them. I may be a hard person to be around sometimes but I am very grateful for the friends that stuck by me and accepted me for who I am. I like to be friends with everyone but once you get on my bad side, you stay there. so please, if you are someone who is being bullied or someone's mean to you, stand up for yourself and don't let them. Don't be scared of them, because all they can do is say a few words that's all. My one piece of advice would be if you see someone getting bullied or hurt, stand up for them, don't leave them alone because being alone makes you feel worse than you were already feeling. The number one reason why I wrote this book (Together At Last) was to show people that they are not alone and that they have to stand up for themselves, so please recommend this book to your friends.
