Grade: 9
2nd year at YWI
I enjoyed YWI because the atmosphere was the perfect mix; there is the right mix of free will, so we can write whatever we want and are allowed to break writing “rules”, and there is also enough structure that we can learn through mini lessons and guest speakers. I also love to see how my writing has improved, and read the writing of my friends and peers.
