Once the story of Belle Gibson was released to the public, I was hooked on the idea of what it could become if it was used as the base of a story. The Australian’s article on the Belle Gibson story provided a strong stimulus, as it discussed the tales of her so-called terminal illness. What made the article interesting in my opinion was Gibson’s reasoning to why she lied about her terminal illness, and how it lead to a lot of drama amongst people.

After three years of music classes for kids, I decided to learn how to play the flute and dedicated myself to the tricky task of making sounds through steady blows and precise finger movements.
