About Mia Mueckstein

I am from Austria but I have ancestors from many different states, amongst them, Lebanon, Germany, and Italy.

I am in high school in Vienna. It is not a normal high school; it is called “Realgymnasium”. That means that the school has a focus on science. Greta is the most inspiring person I have ever met and I think that her work is amazing.

I chose the poem “I Only Have Time To Love” because it is so special, I had that special feeling when I read it. I think the special thing with this poem is that is so well described that everybody can feel the meaning of it.

How Greta and Mia Met

I met Greta in a theatre at a play which was about Greta’s story and others. After the play, we talked for a really long time and I was totally inspired by her. We talked about inviting her to my History class but she was leaving in two days so we didn’t have much time left. The next day, I asked my history teacher if it would be possible that Greta visits us and she agreed. I gave Greta a call. She came and inspired my whole class. Since then Greta and I are mailing now and then and I am very thankful for that.
