Anaís Fernández is a second-year Girls Write Now mentee and a high school senior currently applying to college creative writing programs. When she is not writing poetry, prose or random snippets living in her head, she is making music, acting or reading. If she had to eat one thing for the rest of her life, it would be rice.
My work this year was marked by a sense of finality and self-reflection that comes with being a senior in high school and gearing up to leave for college. I found myself reviewing past work more, and ruminating more on the relationships around me.
