New Year, New You, New Me

The first week of the new year brought a fresh start to the young lives of the poets from Latino Youth High School. We spent this session sharing the gifts we received over the holidays. The poets were asked if they could give any non-material gift to someone or to the world what would it be? We also discussed their new year’s resolutions; how were they going to better themselves in the new year. We hope their answers will be used as inspiration for their future poems. Check out their answers below!
