Letter Book : About The Author

My name is Samar Ahmed Al-Ansari, and I am the author of this book. I am twelve years old, and I am in the seventh grade. I was born on the morning of April the fourth on the year 1988. I have one brother and one sister, my brother’s name is Omar and my sister’s name is Qadar. My mother’s name is Randah and my father’s name is Ahmed. I am very close with my family, and I enjoy being with them at all times. My hobbies are reading, writing, watching television, swimming, and going on the Internet. I live in West Riffa, Bahrain, and I enjoy living there. My goal which I had since I was in the fourth grade was to become a famous writer and a famous DJ on the radio. I enjoy doing both things, but not if I am forced to. My best friend is Latifa Al- Maraj, and she has been my best friend since we were small. People say that I’m quite stubborn, and I have been trying to stop being stubborn for a very long time.

What inspired me to become an author was when I wrote a tribute to my grandfather two years ago, although he is not dead, I wrote about what he did and I talked about his troubles, and the teacher gave me an ‘A’. We had parents coming in so we can explain to them stories we read, and the teacher told me to read my tribute. As I read it I saw my mom crying, and from that moment, I knew I wanted to be an author. I also wanted to become an author, because many people say that I have a writer’s tongue, and they enjoy listening to my stories. I will try to achieve my goal, and I hope I will succeed.
