Description

A global pandemic. A year of remote learning. A visit from the former President of the United States. Through it all, and through writing, we learned that we share a lot of the same feelings and experiences, and we found comfort in sharing our stories. In the pages ahead, you’ll read about the lasting impact of hiking the Appalachian trail, offloading toxic friendships, straddling two cultures, looking in the mirror and admitting your sexuality, and telling white lies.

This anthology of writing from the 2021 Young Writers & Leaders program features photographs by Molly Haley and original artwork by student Zina Mohamed.
