Many students in New York City enter high school without having the time or space to reflect on who they are. Pressures around fitting in, balancing school and home life, and navigating identity in a diverse city can make it difficult to develop self-awareness. This project focuses on the challenge of creating space for students to understand their own story, values, strengths, and emotions so they can thrive personally and academically.
