Nijmeh Marouf, 13, Year 9 (M3), Bermuda High School for Girls

My family is crazy and unique, and I doubt that there is another family like us anywhere in the world. We always enjoy each other's company, and even though we fight, we never stay angry for long. I am truly honoured to be a part of my family.

My favourite in-school activity: I love to write creative stories in the English class and to compose music in the Music class. Schoolwork is hard, but it always worth the reward at the end of the year … summer!

My favourite after-school activity: I enjoy debating and discussing points that I feel passionate about. There is no better feeling than that of proving you can stand up for your views and opinions even if others feel you are wrong.

My favourite music: I listen to most music and cannot say that I have a favourite. I like any music that has a good beat or strong lyrics.

My favourite place to shop is Toxic Rose in St Georges. It is nearby (for me) and has the type of clothes that you cannot get anywhere else. I always feel individual when I wear their clothes.

The thing that irritates me the most are people who are always trying to tell me what to think and how I should live my life; people who are thoughtless in their actions and take advantage of others' kindness.

I'd like to continue to write for the majority of my life and publish several best-selling books. My dream is to write a series of books that are as successful as the Twilight series. Stephenie Meyer is definitely my role model.

Message to my peers: Some people say I am only a dreamer. Part of what they say is true, I am a dreamer, but I am also a doer.

Follow your dreams and keep a positive attitude, work hard and you may realise your dreams sooner than you thought.
