“Hello everyone! I’m (Rosie Nguyen) an 8th grader at Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about reading, writing, and storytelling, and, at one point, even dreamed of taking on writing as a professional career, publishing a best-selling novel, and appearing at events as a famous and respected author. This affintiy also comes with an interest in global affairs, societal issues, debate, and youth empowerment, and I usually explore themes that I’m passionate about, such as fantasy and the youth (when it comes to fiction) and the social trends in the world (when it comes to newspaper articles). Whenever I write, I focus on the relatability of my work, paying close attention to its tone and clarity, and dedicate myself to perfecting every detail so that my readers can enjoy it,” said Rosie.
