In high school, I also found joy in editing. I loved analyzing, polishing, and curating my classmates’ short stories, poems, and artwork to make them shine for my school’s literary magazine. I spent hours with other editors, passionately arguing the merits and weaknesses of dozens of writing pieces. Editing the school newspaper, meanwhile, became a way to spotlight members of the school community, from profiling new staff and faculty to polling the student body about the stigma surrounding menstruation.
I’ve now had my poems published in a national literary journal and have joined the editorial staff of an international literary magazine for teens. I feel like I’m discovering my power, and with it my ability to create change. Last year, I founded SPEAK, a creative writing program for elementary school students. I wanted to assist younger writers so they could create their own communities. During SPEAK sessions, I taught a group of students how to draw a map of a fantasy wolf kingdom they had designed, helped a girl edit her classmate’s poem about hula hoops, and listened to a third-grader talk faster and faster as we discussed the meaning of soup in The Tale of Despereaux.
I’ve now turned SPEAK into a self-sustaining club at my school, and I’m expanding the program onto an online platform. Writing changed my life, but it only happened when I started sharing my work, putting it out there, and starting conversations—not just responding. Alone, stories used to abstract me from the outside world. Now, stories connect me to the world, creating communities instead of pulling me away from them. For too many of us, our stories are born in our heads, and they die there. I’m going to change that, for myself and for as many people as I can bring with me.
哈佛点评：
读完第一句话后，我想读更多 。到了第三句话的时候，我已经迫不及待地想要见到这个学生了!
这篇文章的成功是因为我们不仅深入了解了他们与生俱来的好奇心和想象力，而且我们了解了他们的个人成长 。我们看到学生变得更加自信，并在更大的社区中找到了自己的位置 。流行文化和历史典故是一种很好的接触，使写作变得人性化，同时使其具有很强的可读性 。
但最重要的是，有一条成长的叙事线索 。
学生偶尔会取得一些成就，这些成就是成长的里程碑，但这并不像是一份简历或人为的清单……当我们了解他们的创作过程以及故事在他们生活中的重要性时，这一切最终都融合在一起 。
好奇、有创造力、关心他人……以及个人成长感 。许多伟大的主题和个人特质让读者不仅喜欢这个学生，而且想认识他们 。
