When I was 12 years old，I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.I was a total outsider，bullied（欺凌）at school.I felt completely alone in my small town.
   But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14，I turned my problem into a passion for helping others.The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose.The more positive energy I shared，the more kindness and appreciation I received.I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people，specifically teenagers，and help them feel less alone.
   Books were my true friends back then.I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books.The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life.One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
   After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home，I made a choice to take the optimistic，positive road in the next steps of my journey.My dream career，one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved，is what I am doing now.I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
   Kindness saved me when I needed help the most.Even small acts of kindness can change someone's life.You never know what someone else is going through.But by practicing daily kindness，you become an architect of positive change.
