Studying literature has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It has sharpened my ability to think critically, expanded my imagination, and deepened my emotional intelligence. Just like a gamer learns and improves with every challenge, I have grown as a reader, writer, and thinker through literature.
Before diving deep into literature, I saw the world in more straightforward terms. But the more I read, the more I realized how complex and nuanced life really is. Books like Beloved by Toni Morrison pushed me to confront painful historical realities, just as difficult levels in a game push players to their limits. Much like gaming, literature requires perseverance—it forces us to engage with difficult topics, to rethink our perspectives, and to grow from the experience.
