kathleen harm, 17: My name is Kathleen Harm, 17, (my family calls me Kat), and I’ve lived<br />
in New Jersey all of my life. Currently, I’m living in Ho-Ho-Kus, which is<br />
the smallest town ever; many people don’t even believe that it exists. There<br />
isn’t much to do, so I find myself reading and watching TV a lot. So many<br />
solo activities have made me a tad loony, which would explain my udderly<br />
odd poetry.<br />
chase hoag, 18: My name is Chase Hoag. I was born in Lawrence, Kansas in the United<br />
States on September 22, 1990. I have lived within the same square mile of area pretty much<br />
my entire life. I started school when I was six and plan to continue on at the college level. My<br />
grandmother was really the one who got me into art; she is a magnificent artist. My junior year<br />
of high school I really started getting into the arts, and I took a class called Humanities, which<br />
is where I draw much of my artistic inspiration and knowledge from. I am now an Advance<br />
Placement Art student in my school and love being involved with the arts.<br />
sophie howell, 17: I live in Carlisle and have been at Trinity School for 5 years. I am lucky to<br />
live in such a green city with two beautiful parks close to my school; one has<br />
sheep and cows wandering around the entire stretch of the river on one side<br />
and the other park is very cultivated with special garden areas and walks.<br />
My friend Bethaney and I go for picnics in the parks and enjoy the summer<br />
sun. I love sunflowers. It is a sunny, happy flower and that is how the parks<br />
make me feel.<br />
wynne hungerford, 17: My name is Wynne Hungerford and I am from Greenville, SC. I<br />
attend the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities for<br />
creative writing. Living at school is great because it only takes a few minutes<br />
to walk to class, and I really get to focus on writing. I enjoy whitewater<br />
kayaking, Woody Allen films, and reading. I normally begin writing poems<br />
with an image in mind or a single event. Jorie Graham and Martin Espada are<br />
great influences. In my poetry, I try to present specific scenes or characters<br />
that lend themselves to larger ideas. I challenge myself to show natural<br />
images in an eerie light.<br />
alexandria kim, 18: My name is Alexandria and I am from Allendale, NJ, a very small<br />
suburban town. My town is a little boring sometimes so I like to drive to the<br />
mall and watch a lot of movies. I am a seventeen year old Korean-American<br />
and a senior in high school (I am excited to go to college). I enjoy reading<br />
on Sunday mornings and sketching portraits of famous people. I spend a lot<br />
of my time tutoring middle school students in English, math, and spanish.<br />
worapan kongtaewtong, 17: Sawasdi Kha! This means “hello” in Thai. Worapan<br />
Kongtaewtong is the name of a 16 years-old girl who lives in Thailand – that’s me! My nickname<br />
is Bew. My family consists of my dad, my mom, my older sister (Bim), and me. We live a very<br />
simple life. I am a Mathayom 3 (Grade 9) student at Yothinburana School. My hobbies include<br />
reading comics and novels, playing sports, and creating artwork. Sometimes I feel<br />
joy when watching the sunset or listening to good music. About my piece: It is<br />
a common experience for all humans to be sensitive to the sounds and sights of<br />
their memories. We acquire them naturally and we all have them. Unlike so many<br />
things, the possession of memories doesn’t divide us into different classes, age<br />
groups, or positions. The beauty of our memories is that no one can steal them.<br />
In some ways, memory is the water that maintains one’s life until the last breath.<br />
