Before I really start my blogging journey, I wanted to introduce myself. I’m Rosie and while I’m only 16 I have a lot to say and already experienced so much in my life. For starters, I was recently diagnosed with autism – only earlier this year; however, not being diagnosed for the most part of my life has not stopped me from always trying my best.
I spent the first half of my life in Ethiopia where I experienced cross-cultural living and attended a Christian mission school. For the last eight years, I have attended a public Catholic school in Canterbury. These opportunities have given me a tolerance for different views and an understanding on how our culture affects our beliefs.
I’ve always had a passion for English which has led me to become a three-time published author in Young Writer’s competitions as well as always being top of my English classes. I’ve developed many literacy skills which has piqued my interest in reading a broad range of genres.
As a youth I hope that I can bring opinions and colours to people’s lives that they may not have noticed or considered before due to vast differences between my schooling and growing up than those of older generations. I hope I can keep you interested!
