2. Who or what is the inspiration behind this book? This is a funny question, because a lot of people think I’m crazy after telling them the inspiration behind this book. My inspiration and purpose of writing this book is, because I feel so deeply, madly, and unexpectedly in love with my best friend Kaarina.
3. What cause are you most passionate about and why? Helping people is what I’m most passionate about. If I had to guess I would say I got this trait from my mother. There is no specific reason why I enjoy helping people; I just do!

5. Who has influenced you throughout your writing career? By far my writing career just started, but I would have to say F.Scott Fitzgerald would be one of my favorite authors!
6. What are some long terms goals? Some long terms goals for me would be for the whole world to read my story, and hopefully gain another life changing experience to write a part two to my story!

Somehow he has surpassed everyone's expectations, and he has thrived
