Although she learned English as a second language, this has not decreased Nadia’s passion for poetry and writing in English. Through practice, Nadia has found that her grammar has improved greatly, and at the same time, she has developed a new interest for literature. Some of her inspiration comes from her mother, who is also a poet, and she inspires Nadia to continue to write and to improve.
In Nadia’s free time, reading is one of her favourite things to do. She enjoys learning about history through reading books or watching TV shows about it. Due to a busy schedule and her school work, Nadia has less time to do what she enjoys doing. However, Nadia hopes to continue expanding her knowledge - especially about history as well as exploring new places that she has never been to before.
Nadia is not only a writer, she is a part of the choir as well as a visual artist. She uses art as a method to relax in order to “get things off her chest”. She also uses it to show people how she is feeling as it can “show a deeper meaning in life to an audience that you sometimes can’t explain with simple facts”. For her, there aren’t many major influences that she has based her work on, but her mother is someone that always inspires her because when Nadia was younger, she wanted to continue writing to make her mom proud of what she wrote.
Generally, Nadia’s work is based on what she feels at the moment. She loves to sing to express herself, to draw in order to relax; however, writing is when she can really channel her imagination. If there are certain things that bother her or she can’t say out loud, she would write it all down.
While she usually does not showcase her writing, Nadia does, however, have some upcoming projects for choir as she will be performing at a festival in April. As of now, she does not plan on pursuing art in the future at university or as a career; however, she does plan on going into the humanities as this is where her interests lie. In the end though, the arts and writing will always be a hobby that will stay with her.
