First Mark on the Canvas

This is the first entry for my Community Outreach project for Eastern Michigan's Creative Writing program. I've established contact with Michigan826 -- a volunteer organization that runs a stable of service projects in schools in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. My assignment is at Roberto Clemente High School, which is a place for teens that have had trouble adapting for whatever reason to their zoned high school. I'm told I'll be helping students with articles for Clemente's in-school publication. My first day is next Tuesday, 1/25. I'll work on-site for a half-day each week.
