An Inspiration
Freestyle time! The other day I watches a movie called "Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story." It was most likely one of the most inspirational--if not THE most inspirational--stories I've ever heard. It was all about J.K. Rowling and how she made the mistakes of becoming a single mother living on welfare. Then she realized she had to do something, so she did what she loved best: she wrote. After many searches for agents and publishers, she finally got her book on the shelves, and became the most successful woman in Great Britain. And it happened all because she did what she knew she loved; what she knew would make her happy. I think she is a wonderful role model and her life tells the story that everyone makes mistakes--big or small--and as long as we know how to set ourselves straight again, we can cause magnificent things to happen.
