She and her sister befriended two neighbor children, a brother and sister named Ian and Vikki Potter. (Custom) She admits that she never had any major difficulties as a child that affected her, but she remembers being called Rowling pin by her classmates. The extracurricular activities she participated in had nothing to do with sports because she says she didn't like it much but loved anything to do with English.

While in high school his favorite class was, predictably, English and it was then that he knew he wanted to further his education and go on to college.

If you are familiar with Harry Pott... middle of paper... Rowling is undoubtedly the most influential person when taking into account her life story, not only because she invested a large part of her earnings and her successes in financial institutions charity he worked with. Not even because she went from a poor woman on welfare to one of the richest in her country. It's because she described herself as "the biggest failure she had known" before she sat down and wrote one of the most beloved fantasy worlds on paper. It is also because he transformed the pain of his mother's suffering into a story in which a mother's love towards a child ends up bringing great inspiration to the world of readers. Perhaps the greatest lesson she learned was to work hard and never give up, like when she was rejected by many publishers and battled depression because of her mother, but still came out with one of the greatest book series in history..
