Writing to Discover Yourself

by 826 National
This Educator Tool is designed to help you support students along their journeys in positive identity development.
What You Will Do

Writing is a powerful tool for students to understand and construct their identities. While so much of the world today is competing for young people’s attention, writing invites students to turn their attention inward. It offers students an opportunity to get to know themselves, providing a crucial outlet to process feelings and explore their identities on the page. Through creative storytelling, personal narratives, reflective writing, and more, students can peel back their layers to uncover the strengths, values, and purpose within as they build self-awareness and develop their identities.
