Highest Award 2008 National Council of Teachers of English Program to Recognize Excellence in Student Literary Magazines Dear Reader, It seems we have tried to define our mission thousands of times. This magazine just doesn’t seem to fit in any one category. For me, Aerie International’s meaning changes on a day to day basis. Some days, it is an object floating up in the clouds somewhere. I know it’s important, but I can only catch glimpses of it. Some days it’s stacks of papers, overflowing filing cabinets, and massive digital files that are never quite organized. Everyday, however, when I walk in our classroom door, or open up our email, the world feels real again. I am reminded that there are other people, other lives, and other stories that exist outside my own immediate surroundings. I think the beauty of Aerie International as an organization with a mission and a literary magazine, is that it allows students around the world to share their experiences with others. That in itself is empowering in a world where it seems that no one is actually listening, despite the many new technologies which are supposed to help us communicate. If Aerie International were an annual summer camp, this year’s theme would be sharing stories. All we would ever do is sit around a campfire with hot chocolate and s’mores listening to each other’s thoughts, fictional and non-fictional. I believe my experience would be a great deal less had I never had the opportunity to hear the stories of people like Emma Pimentel, Romanius Eiman, Alexandria Kim and Jake Ross. Each submission I looked at and each bio I read made my world bigger as each person’s ideas, thoughts, and personalities came alive through his or her art. I feel truly privileged to have been able to work on this magazine. We have many hopes for the future. We hope to make Aerie International sustainable when elective classes are too often on the chopping block. We are always looking for new awards and new ways to give a voice to more students around the world. We also hope to honor the writers and artists who have come before us. We have learned so much from writers and artists such as Richard Hugo, Rudy Autio, Norman Maclean, James Welch and Lee Nye. We have many people to thank for helping make our dreams with Aerie International possible. The first is our international Advisory Board whom we were fortunate enough to meet with this year. They are our ultimate support group, inside the classroom and out, who prove to us that what we are doing is real and good. We so appreciate their
