Life is thought to be the accumulation of moments. Moments keep going, always forward. But once written, moments be come scenes frozen in time. They can open a window to the past or give us a sneak peek into the future. So, naturally, at a time of uncertainty and stillness, capturing moments through writing became the mission of this group of young authors.In Dreams of My Past, Reality of My Future, language learners at Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies portray some of the pivotal moments of their lives. The scenes that have left a mark on them. While some decided to share their experiences during an unprecedented pandemic, others decided to dig memories with their family, or put into words the meanings and histories of their names. These moments are captured in a series of vignettes, each showcasing snapshots of their lives and glimpsing into their hopes for the future.Join these young authors as they capture the realities of 2021. Read about the average day of remote learners that live within the same city. Learn what it means to struggle with isolation and social media as a teenager. Picture the moment people had to get used to saying hello again. Take in students’ reflections about the uniqueness of their names. Take a moment to picture these scenes, snapshots narrated in these author’s new language
