“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Such pieces of wisdom from Nelson Mandela have always been true among high school students who at first find it hard to start, but eventually take the challenge that brought them to greater heights. As a teacher, it takes commitment and dedication to bring out the best in them, yet, it takes even more inspiration to me to see them trying and believing in themselves. With so much gratitude, I acknowledge the incredible effort each student has put into their short story writing. Their creativity, imagination, and hard work shine through in every piece. It’s exciting to see how you’ve crafted unique worlds and characters, bringing your ideas to life with such passion. Indeed, writing is a journey, and each story is a step along the way. Keep exploring, keep dreaming, and keep writing. I’m excited to see where their creativity takes them next! ~Ms. De La Cruz English I Period 1 Awards Isis Montero-Esquivel, Liv Salzbrenner, Ms. De La Cruz, Brandon McDaniel, and Johnny Vuong.
