My dear CDE friends,

I would like to invite you personally to join my book signing event. I sent you the invitation this morning in which the bookstore mananger at Water Street Books sent to the media.

I hope you kindly take a bit of your busy time with this though academic life at the CDE to support me at my book signing event at Water Street Books at 7pm tomorrow. I think the event will not take long at all.

To me, this event means so much to me. It is my big dream to become a writer since I was a young girl. I have this goal to get my book published in USA for so long. It took me 3 years to write this piece "Broken Glass" and it took me another 3 years to wait until it finally comes out as a book like this.

Before I got selected by Fulbright, I originally wanted to go to Creative Writing program school. However, I consulted with a few professional writers and they suggested me that Creative Writing Program is too selective. Only few schools in USA offer such programs and some schools select only 10-12 students a year. I was told that, only professional writers who have written so many books and most of them are already well known writers go to the program in order to polish their writing styles. So, I know that I am not ready enough to go to the program because I am not even a native English speaker and I did not have book publication to get into school which is strongly required by the program.

I have two clear objectives and two big dreams to be in the USA. First, I wanted to challenge my new way of thinking by learning Economics. I was panic to death how I may not be able to make it before I came here with this though academic program at the CDE. So far, I am challenging myself and I see a big improvment in myself starting from Winter study. I am so happy about it.

My second dream is to get my book published in USA. Finally, I have made it. I did not expect once it is published, the copies of the books were sold quickly in my country as well as in the USA. I first thought, I at least want to see my book printed out just a copy for myself at the end of the day if no one wants to publish it.

Thanks to Veronica in the begining who is the first to read my book in USA and believe this story deserved to be told and to be published.

My big dream in the future is to go to Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program in USA. So your support to join my book signing event would be a significant memorable time for me.

Best of luck and sucess to everyone,

Utara
