Thanks to our Summer Interns!
Kyra is attending John Carroll University majoring in English (concentration on professional writing) and minoring in Psychology.
Kyra’s love of writing brought her to LEI!
“When I was in school K-12, there were never any resources or writing/reading clubs or groups that would allow me to become a better writer. I wanted to work with children who shared the same passions that I had as a child and help them be the best writers that they can be!”
Kyra’s experiences have piqued her interest in working maybe not with, but for children. Kyra foresees a possible children’s book in her future!? Either way, Kyra, we wish you well in your future endeavors!
Sophia is attending Bowling Green State University where she is majoring in Creative Writing with minors in Chinese and Japanese. Sophia learned about LEI through her mother and wanted to help others develop their love of reading and writing.
“I’ve really enjoyed my experience so far, the kids I’ve worked with in Pride Outside, Inside Out, and Young Novelists are all very bright and eager. It’s an honor and a great opportunity to get to help and watch them grow into writers and help to nurture their love of writing and reading while connecting to others like minds.” Thanks Sophia, wishing you all the best as you continue your studies!
Darius is attending Hiram College, studying creative writing with a minor in history. Darius was recommended to Lake Erie Ink through his advisor and thought it sounded like a unique opportunity. “I felt like this was a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and do something different.” Having not worked or taught young students before, Darius enjoyed getting to actively engage and help students during his time. We thank Darius for his commitment to creative writing and a desire to help young students succeed. Best wishes to you on your next steps Darius!
