This past weekend I attended Bookcon and it really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I have always known that I wanted to be a published author who was able to share their ideas with the world. While that idea really got cemented in my head that I want to start doing that sooner rather than later. I have always had the dream of writing books for many different people. I have always wanted to be able to share my ideas with the world and maybe they would leave an impact on the people or person who came across them.

Bookcon really helped me realize that once I put my mind to something I can accomplish it. At Bookcon, I was able to meet some of my favorite authors such as Jenny Han and Morgan Matson who have really shaped my goal of becoming a published author. Their books have inspired me in so many ways and really helped me understand that I have a voice just like they do. Meeting them was a dream and I had a true fangirl moment. It made me realize that someone's words can really make an impact on someone and might even help them through some rough parts in their life.

Not only did I meet some of my favorite authors I also met two of my favorite YouTubers, Chelsea Crockett and Natasha Bure. If you did not know I also make youtube videos so this was super cool for me. I was able to have them sign copies of their books for me and talk to them for a little bit. It was really awesome to be able to meet YouTubers who I would see through their videos weekly but actually talk to them in person.

Overall, attending Bookcon was an amazing experience. Little did I know it before walking through the doors of The Javitz Center in New York City my life would be changed forever. You might be thinking that this is weird for me to say but it is honestly so true. That day I was able to meet some people who I have looked up to for many years. I also was able to realize that my dreams are not too big or hard to reach. It was so awesome to be able to see all these readers and authors come together in one huge event.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Bookcon NYC 2017 for changing my life. Thank you for inspiring me to chase after my big dreams because maybe one day I could be an author there that is signing her first published novel among my inpirations who have inspired me to chase my dreams.
