sometimes it just takes another look to see that. My personal anthology is a glimpse of who I am and who I aspire to be. It is for these reasons that I have broken my anthology into 4 categories: bravery, strength, intelligence, and finally miscellaneous because it is impossible to sum up my personality in a few categories. I have always wanted to be a brave person. When I was younger, I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter series and I wanted to grow up to be a member of Gryffindor house,…
