"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
---Eleanor Roosevelt
Today I volunteered at the Writer's Center at Walt Whitman High School and got to help kids with their college essays. It's a wonderful exercise for teens to write about themselves as they must for these applications. Why? Because it gives the young people the chance to be introspective and think about who and what matter most matter to them, and about where they see themselves having come from as well as where they see themselves heading.
May seem like they're just 'kids.' But in 17 or 18 years they've collected many life experiences and deep thoughts, as well as of course goals and dreams. Getting to listen to their opinions and read their writings really is a lot of fun.
