I was walking onto the driveway to reach my apartment. It was a normal Thursday until I knocked on my front door. My mom had opened the door with a smiling face. “Aditi! Your book is published and is now on Amazon and Kindle, so kids can buy and read your book!” she squealed with excitement. “Wow,” I said, my eyes swirling around with amazement. I started to jump all around the living room.
My baby brother was in the crib, watching me, puzzled, as I bounced from one side of the room to the other. “I’m famous!” I said in a singsong voice to him. I walked into my dad’s office room which was nearby. “Daddy, my book is published!” I exclaimed to my dad, who was squinting at his monitor. “Yes, I know Aditi. Good job!” he said, furiously typing on his keyboard, not even glancing at me. I sighed, entering the living room once again. I was feeling so proud and amazed of myself. After working so hard for one year, my hard work was paying off. I couldn’t believe the fact was an actual author!
“Hey Aditi, someone bought your book just now.” my dad said from his room. “Yes!” I shouted, feeling accomplished. “We shared your book with literally everyone we know,” my mom said as she washed the filthy dishes. “Will lots of people buy my book?” I asked my mom with my twinkling eyes. “Yes, or they will read it for free.” my mom replied as she placed a plate into the dishwasher. “I’m so happy!” I cried one last time. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends about my accomplishment. They could be kids all over the globe who were reading her book right now. June 2nd, 2022 was a great day to be proud of.
