I’ve always wanted to write, a desire that was constantly fueled by my parents,
who encouraged me to write first by keeping a diary and then by exploring poetry
and fiction, and finally, by nonfiction as I grew older. And the same goes for
my brother, who fueled the interest by patiently reading drafts of whatever
I’ve written and providing valuable feedback. Many teachers in school pushed me
along in a similar fashion. Without all the continuous encouragement from my
childhood days to put pen to paper, no book would have ever been written.
