My bio on socials before I made it more professional was "When I was 5 years old, I got in trouble for reading during naptime. I've been a rebel ever since." This is actually a true story, and I cried when I got home. Thank goodness this didn't deter my passion for reading, because it grew into a passion for writing at 10 years old. The books I read weren't enough, so I created my own, starting with a Goosebumps-esque MG horror.
