Nya's Story

My passion is writing.

When I was in elementary school, I developed an admiration for reading. I loved to read books because they contained words that made me think critically about the author's message. My love for reading thus fueled my passion for writing. I write whenever I had a spare moment. It is my outlet.

Attending the Summer at Brown will not only enable me to receive feedback on my writing to make it better; this opportunity will also allow me to learn different writing techniques from my peers. My passion for writing will grow because I will be able to practice crafting strong essays, responses, emails, and other forms of writing that are all essential to being a strong writer in college.

A Note from Mr. Schwartz, Nya's Teacher

"As student body president, Nya runs numerous events and charity campaigns. She works tirelessly in her studies, viewing each disappointment as an invitation to improve. If Nya has one overriding passion, it is her earnest, authentic commitment to being a beacon of positivity in our school, and we are lucky to have her.

Nya is exactly the kind of student Wishbone is looking for: she has extraordinary potential but might not otherwise have access to a program like Summer at Brown. This program will bring Nya invaluable training in how to refine her writing."

Thank You!

My experience at Brown was one that I will cherish. It was an amazing experience, and I hope to attend next summer. I met wonderful people, learned what I am passionate about, and lived the life of a college student for two amazing weeks. Thank you all for allowing me to have this opportunity. This truly was a great summer.

Excited for Summer at Brown

In just a few short weeks, I will be staying at Brown University for two weeks to study world literature. I am so excited about meeting new people, getting a sense of what college life is like, and just getting to explore my passion for great literature. This experience is one that I plan to cherish and share with others. I cannot wait to go!

Success! Mr. Schwartz helped Nya raise $3,700

It's the word "merits" floating over your left shoulder in the video. Your subliminal messaging worked! Best of luck to you in your program and in pursuing your writing.
