Story
Carolyn Zheng
(she/her/hers) Mentee
Carolyn Zheng is a freshman from Massachusetts who hopes to one day be an author. She loves band, math, Spanish and English classes, but when she’s not in school, you can usually find Carolyn with her nose tucked in a book. She also tries to practice her trumpet, which she has been playing for four years, with some success. Carolyn is ambitious—she has too many goals and dreams floating around in her head to count.

Artist‘s Statement
I use the world around me and my experiences to help shape my work. What I experience is usually what I understand the best and what I want to write about, so I can convey my message easier.
