writing can be many things: an assignment, an outlet, an escape— whether you write with pen and paper or on a computer, whether you write just for school or for pleasure, writing is an integral part of our lives. it's the way we communicate, with social media, newspapers, text messages, and more.

aka a memoir of high school, as told through various mediums of journals, emails, letters, podcasts, videos, and more.
