Anna, Virginia

• Anna is 10.
• She loves to read, play with her sister, listen to classical music, ride her bike, and play the piano.
• When asked, she wants to be many things when she grows up and tells me she will one day will make up her mind: chef, concert pianist, pediatrician, barista, and author.
