A famous woman who has impressed me

A famous woman who has impressed me is J.K. Rowling. She is the author of the world-famous, multi-award winning Harry Potter books.

Joanne Rowling was born on July 31, 1965. Her sister, Dianne was born two years later. Joanne grew up surrounded by books as her parents loved reading. Joanne had wanted to become a writer since she was small. Joanne wrote her Àrst book ‘Rabbit’ when she was six years old.

J.K. Rowling Àrst had the idea for Harry Potter while delayed on a train travelling from Manchester to London King’s Cross in 1990. In the next Àve years she started planning out the story.

J.K. Rowling faced many challenges while writing ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. Her mother died and she got divorced from her husband. She had a baby daughter named Jessica and it was hard for her to be a single parent. Despite this, Joanne continued writing in every spare moment she had. She even suffered from depression but that didn’t stop her.

J.K. Rowling sent the Harry Potter book to 12 publishers, all of whom rejected it. But she kept trying and her book was accepted for publication by Bloomsbury. Harry Potter soon became famous all over Britain. The next six books were published in the time period of 1998 – 2007.

J.K. Rowling, a girl who had a huge dream, worked hard and achieved her goal. The reason she impresses me is that she never gave up, no matter what obstacles came in her path. She worked hard to reach her aims and goals. She became a role model for children all over the world.
