Pritha Tiffany's Writing Portfolio

When I was in first grade, I finished my first two books that were a starting point of defining who I was: Matilda by Roald Dahl and The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. Matilda was who I aspired to be: intelligent and brave. Anne Frank taught me the power of words: her diary was her confidante in her days of hiding during the Second World War. That is how I started to keep a diary and began to address my diary as "Kitty", in the same manner as Anne Frank. My habit of keeping a diary alongside discovering so many authors, from Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath and Jhumpa Lahiri throughout the years made me fall in love with writing. People and their stories fascinate me, and the words flow naturally when I write about them.

Nine-year-old me knew this was not the country music I was used to.
