ALL my life I've asked myself the question what if. What if during my walk to school I found the town deserted? What if I discovered a secret door beneath the bridge? What if I was the smartest girl at school; what if I was the outcast? What if I was a boy? What if I was a tiger? The questions filled my mind and took up a big chunk of my thoughts. It goes without saying that I didn't pose questions about things I already knew.
