Introspection

This brave young writer gives a moving portrait that explains what is going on underneath an emotional outburst in the classroom. In this piece she beautifully confronts the demons of her past.

For many young people, the pandemic has thrown old certainties into disarray and this is powerfully captured by this storyteller. Here she explains the devastating toll 2020 has had upon her own family and offers hope that we may, one day, move beyond the pandemic.

For other young people, lockdown and isolation has given an opportunity to work out their own thoughts and beliefs. In the form of an internal dialogue this author allows us to witness this process and see the growth in confidence manifest upon the page.
