It is very strange to write one’s biography because it is just a list of dates, events, and achievements. In reality the most important things about one’s life happen in the secret chambers of the heart and cannot be included in a list like this. I think that my most significant achievement is not my writing, but the love I share with my family. But in this web-site we need to have my bio: students and journalists request it often.
