'Fall Leaves' by Juliana

Students in Ms. McCracken’s English classes at Roaring Fork High School were asked to write personal essays that explore who they are and what they think is important. Students wrote anecdotes modeled on the 'Lives' essays published by the ​New York Times​, explored what their experience during the pandemic has taught them about themselves and each other, and revealed something about themselves by describing their connection to a meaningful object.
