TPO 01 - Question 1 Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.

I have read so many books in my life, but the most important book for me was definitely Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
First, because when I was a kid, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up, and while I was reading Harry Potter, I started to develop a passion for literature, which ended up with my bachelor degree in Creative Writing.
Second, I say that Harry Potter was the book that helped me to decide that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So, after finish college, I decided that I wanted to be a writer, which was something really important to me, and I already published two books, so, that's why Harry Potter was so important to me.
