I am Anahita. I am 13 years old and I study in 8th grade. Honestly speaking, I am no professional and don’t even know how to write an actual blog but I do know one thing; which is, there are a lot of people out there who feel as lost as I do and hopefully they will find solace in the fact that they are not the only ones who feel like this. As you would have already guessed by my name, I am Asian (Indian to be precise) and I have this dream of migrating to America someday, not because I don’t like my own country but because I wish to make it proud. I wish to study in a place where I am taught about how to deal with reality. I live in a very small city and thus have never had the pleasure of receiving very nice education. One of the only reasons I continue to pursue my education in the same school as I do because I believe that a person can do well only if he is faced with drive, and driven are those who have not what they want and have the perseverance and persistence to work in order to achieve it. And schools like mine are full of people like that, so my school provides me with competition. Since childhood I have dreamed of going to Harvard (hey, don’t judge me) and thus have been slowly working towards my goal. There were times when I used be racked with self-doubt, because as I grew up I realized how unrealistic my dream looked. But although it still does feel unrealistic, I have decided that I will work towards it. I doubt I am the only one with such high ambitions as myself, so I decided to capture my journey and share it with the world so that anyone out there like me can find that sense of belonging. I will post regularly and you can follow me. I have many thoughts I want to share, books to recommend and opinions to voice. I am not as immature as a perceive me to be at this moment, so don’t be so quick to judge and maybe stick around for a bit.Peace.

Bye (for now:)

Anahita
