These two girls submitted their work through WITS (Working In The Schools), a wonderful organization that is now participating with StudentsXpress.
Though I couldn't fit everyone's writing and artwork into the magazine, I love what they each had to say and wanted to share them here. I hope they will be able to share them in their own voices at our upcoming StudentsXpress SPEAKS! night.
I sing on my mom’s birthday because I want to show her how special she is. It’s important because it’s my talent and it is in my family history. I have relatives who sing and dance. Singing helps me calm and makes me free.

I love music because you can dance, sing, it makes you happy and it’s fun. Some of the artists I like are Ariana Grande, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Destiny Child, Miley Cyrus, Megan Trainor. Sam Smith’s song “Stay With Me” is kind of sad but it’s beautiful and I love it. Megan Trainor’s song “All About That Bass” is about your weight and it makes you feel like you’re big and beautiful.
