Imagine a little 12-year-old girl sitting on her bed, pencil in hand using her cell phone as a flashlight in the middle of the night, 10 pm (for a 12-year-old that is). She furiously scribbles into her notebook all the ideas that she had in her late night sleep. That little 12 year old was me, of course, that is what this assignment is about, you know my passion, so there could be no other person that this could be about.
