I am a 12-year-old student that enjoys reading and drawing. I am exceptionally drawn to fantasy and magic stories and have a weird liking for “monsters”. Usually, people think that monsters are scary, and they are always evil. However, in my opinion, monsters can also be very humorous — one can have feelings, share jokes, comfort people and be willing to risk their lives to save other people.
The Young Author Scheme is a great platform that helped develop my talent in writing. Before I heard of this programme, I always felt that I had poor writing skills and it was therefore impossible for me to complete a full-length story. Yet, I did it in the end, with Ms Khoo’s unwavering support and guidance. Previously, I knew that I was not a language person but through the Young Author Scheme and the opportunity to take part in Asia Young Author Award 2022, I managed to find joy in writing and unleash creativity in crafting my story.
