I have enough story ideas to keep me occupied for at least two years. I'm amazed by the poems and stories I was able to write. What is truly memorable is how significant the experience was for these young people.
Many students seem to find, and in some cases to harness, the kind of person they want to become.
This is no small feat. When I return to school in September, I will feel many steps ahead of my peers. . . I will be open to new ways of writing and reflecting. The overall experience was much more than I anticipated. Everyone was friendly and interested in writing.
