Hey cristina,
I love the pieces you continue to create with that beautiful poetic mind of yours. You can truly feel the emotions coming from you, and see what you are going through as a young person. here you write about a struggle, with your father, and end with how you have grown into a new person. I hope that you find someone who can show you…Read More

Dear yahaira,
this is such an interesting piece you have created. It must have been hard to separate with you mom, to such a far place for a long time. I would have been so terrified. I also like how you added your mom’s thought about the situation. I hope you guys have reconnected in some way, and that you women are making memories together.

I hope you will pursue something that will bring you that kind of interest and pleasure. you are very intelligent and curious indeed. Don’t let anything hold you back and keep…Read More

Hey Esthefany,
I like how you write about one tradition you have and enjoy with your family. I have some too, but sometimes I feel we are slowly loosing them, I hope you hold onto yours. Family and the traditions we do, are important and what makes them unique and fun. they bring joy and everyone together which is cool. Family is everything.

Dear Salvador,
I like how you write about your relationship with your brothers. You show that no matter what happens between you guys, family will always win and ya’ll stick together no matter what. I hope to have something like that with my own brothers, but i’m afraid we are too apart at this moment. I am glad there’s something all of you enjoy…Read More

Dear vesna,
I really liked how you put together this written piece. It almost makes me think about how there are many obstacle courses life decides to throw our way, but we continue to fight and make it out stronger, wiser, and smarter than before. I love how you use the connection of your feelings to the way the color of the sky changes to go…Read More

Dear Joanna,
I like the piece you have decided to share, change is always hard to go through with. I struggle with change too. I like how you intwine your own feelings along with those of your family. I hope you still have those connections with whomever you knew in LA, and that the memories you made being in Oakland have been just as great. This…Read More

I love this comic of yours. Writing about someone that brings you joy is wonderful. I hope to be that happy as you sound when I become an aunt. also, looking at his real photo, he’s such a handsome young boy!

dear David,
I really appreciate this piece of yours. It really shows a new side to you, and kinda explains why you seem to be happy most of the time. I like the figurative language you use when you write, “I thought about all the chapters of my life, and how my life book had just gotten bigger and more empty. Ready to be filled with my journey to…Read More

hey angela,
I think what you have here is defiantly something, I strongly connect to. I get nerves and anxious at night too. But sadly, I know why they are there. What could really help us both is some meditation and a break, don’t you think? anyway, your voice is definitely being herd right now, and you should keep stepping out of that box, and…Read More

My dear Yaqui,
when you write the lines “The world is already cold, Family is supposed to give you that warmth, That warmth you need to survive the cold”, I had the chills, because I totally agree with these words. Love is such a powerful emotion, we have no Idea how strong of a hold it has over us. If you really need it, I and our friends can be…Read More

Hey vicente,
I really like this comic you have put together. It really shows the different relationships you can have with friends and family. There will always be someone there, for us in a time of need.

Dear Kris,
I like how much you have changed, since this day had occurred. You make yourself look shy and indecisive then, but now I believe you have grown to be more outgoing and you seem to know what you want to do. By the looks of it your parents are pretty accepting to the choices to make. I hope soccer makes you a happy and better person!

Hey Esme,
I really enjoyed this memoir poem that you created about a trip you took. I’m truly sorry and sad that you had to go through with such an amazing time, but then it was somehow made bad, because of one person and their actions towards you. Sometimes people have a strong effect on the world around us. I am however glad that you chose to be…Read More

Dear Yaqui,
This poem so so much reflection and though you have put into yourself as a person. It shows how you have grown into the amazing person you are today.

Dear Angela,
I agree that you are very artistic, and a talented person. The pauses you make in your memoir are dramatic, and bring even more meaning to the words you write down.

Dear Marlon,
When I read this poem, I see how much you hide from the world. I know that you can be a very quiet person, but I want you to know that you are not an outcast, nor should you feel forgotten. Our few friends and I will always be here for you, and would never forget you. Maybe it can be hard to speak your mind, or you feel you can’t…Read More

Dear Jose,
I think that this member you have written is very strong and reflective. I am surprised as to how reflective and open you are about yourself and it is interesting to see.

You continue to do and say as you please without fear, and I’m glad that you are proud to have changed in such a good way. When you say, “Two trips can change a person,” are…Read More

Hey Rosario,
I like that in your poem you show how important it is to see the importance of what people say. The fact that you are caring not only because that is who you are, but also because it has been something you learned from family, shows how much you care about the people around you. I also like how you say, “If you’re good, You will r…Read More

Dear Cristina,

Your name poem was honestly so beautiful. I Love how you think so deeply about the meaning of your name. You describe where your name comes from and how it affects you.

Dear Zoe,
I really like the article you have written, the tittle took my attention and made me want to know more about the actions and emotions that we allow to take control over our body.

Dear Alberto,
I want to appreciate the strategies you used to compose this poem about power and privilege. I like how you use different writing techniques to talk to an audience as well as talk about one.
