Page 15<\/a>, the goal is to remove those barriers.<\/p>\n\u201cAt Page 15, we take writing down, we say no rules, just write,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n
The organization runs creative writing programs for students across Central Florida, giving them space to explore language, poetry and storytelling while building confidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally opportunities for young people to explore language, explore their creativity through writing and poetry\u2026 and really it\u2019s about young people finding their voice,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n
That voice can be especially powerful for students who are still figuring out where they belong.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has a story to tell. Everyone has something to say,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n
For 11-year-old Queen Denson, a sixth-grader, Page 15 has helped her do something she never thought she could: stand in front of a crowd and share her words.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just helped me express my feelings in front of a crowd,\u201d Denson said. \u201cIt gives me challenges to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even so, stepping on stage can still be nerve-racking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel scared but happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
When the nerves kick in, Queen says she remembers something her grandfather always told her.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody makes mistakes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Now, she hopes other young girls who may feel afraid to speak up will find the same courage.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to worry about what everybody got to say about you,\u201d Denson said. \u201cYou can just be yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Young says moments like that are exactly why the program exists.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just really love celebrating young people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Too often, she says, young people aren\u2019t given the chance to share their thoughts and perspectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think we often give young people a chance to share their minds,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n
Through programs like Page 15, students in Parramore are learning that their voices matter and deserve to be heard.<\/p>\n
