Hello! I'm an online high schooler who aspires to be an architect and author! During my free time, I enjoy designing homes on an online software game, or reading books! I'm fond of many genres of books, but my all-time favorite is "White Nights" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Due to books, I've been able to live thousands of lives, and these aren't just mere escapes from reality; it's an addition to life.
