It's more than <I> Dear Diary </I> (bet you did that, cooper),but I don't want to minimize the importance of those adolescent yearnings, burnings, and complaints. Blogging is another form of it.<BR/><BR/>What they learn, I hope, is how to use the written word. They don't get enough opportunity to do that in their worlds. If they stay with the program, they graduate from high school, and go on to college.sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182308696816343866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896565.post-76941441453129156732007-10-04T20:31:45.057-07:002007-10-04T20:31:45.057-07:00WriteGirl sounds like a great program. I'm sure you're quite good at helping. I think it would be difficult to mentor writers. Maybe easier if you are one. lolCooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02465484210397122019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896565.post-83575029404154470292007-10-04T12:26:25.923-07:002007-10-04T12:26:25.923-07:00Ooh you would make a great WriteGirl mentor!
