My time at the MetaBronx storytelling group has been interesting because I never thought I would ever be creating stories over the summer. At first, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to enjoy working on stories, but over time I felt more comfortable writing stories and presenting them.
One of the things I enjoyed doing with the storytelling group was sharing ideas with other teenagers. I also became more comfortable presenting my work in front of others without getting too nervous.
Overall, I feel that working with MetaBronx during the summer has taught me skills that will be important in my life, like being able to write stories and present them.
