Her parents were great parents and took care of her and her sister. They lived in a very suitable environment. They moved twice as children. Joanne is said to have been a very imaginative girl, often imagining things and playing fantasy games. Both of her parents were avid readers and in her early years Joanne had many books, especially fantasy stories read to her. Rowling's family moved to a place called Winterbourne. 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. His interest in writing began at the age of 5 or 6. 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. His education began at St. Michaels Primary School, then he attended Wyedean School. Joanne went to Exeter University College at the age of 18 to study French for a degree and also attended Paris for a year. She was pushed by her parents to pursue a career as a secretary, but this was never achieved. Towards the end of her school career Rowling became Head Girl. 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 in her successes in corporate 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..
