Asfaw's Story

My passion is writing.

I developed my passion for writing and storytelling recently. I love to tell stories, and writing gives me a creative outlet to express myself. Attending the San Jose Area Writing Project Teen Institute, will give me the opportunity to develop my writing skills and I am excited to learn more.

A Note from Ms. Khalid, Asfaw's Teacher

Asfaw is exactly the type of student that Wishbone seeks. He has not led a life of privilege, and has had to do without the economic resources and socio-cultural capital of more affluent students. Despite the obstacles in his life, he is extremely resilient, focused and hard working. He does not let any of life's distractions interfere with his passion for education. He currently has straight A's, despite the fact that he is taking Junior level coursework.

My time at the San Jose Writing Project Insitute

My time at this program was amazing. I had met so many great new friends who all shared such wonderful passions. We had some great times hanging out during lunch and always came up with great ideas for a bunch of writing assignments. I managed to learn a lot about writing, especially dialogue and humor which was great. Spending time in this University was is an experience I'll never forget.

I'm anticipating and preparing for this writing journey.
