Fifteen

"Fifteen" is a look into a girl's experience growing up. I wanted to explore a different style and format of writing that wasn't poetry. I thought it would be cool to do a diary entry style piece with one from each year of my life. I wanted a child-like voice to shine through in the earlier entries and be able to see the growth the narrator goes through throughout the story. "Fifteen" shows the hopes that girls have for their teenage years and how they aren't all they are made up to be. This is definitely a very personal piece for me and going through several rounds of peer feedback allowed me to see just how relatable this feeling is to teenage girls.

Creativity means stepping out of your comfort zone to try new things. Maybe trying to paint, even if you don't think you can, and just going with whatever comes to mind. Creativity is being open to your own ideas.
