Hi, I’m Bethany Star Burnside; most friends call me Star. I'm 16 years old and a senior at the International High School of New Orleans. I've been given an excellent opportunity to study creative writing in New York with the School of the New York Times! It's exhilarating, as I love writing and bringing new ideas to life. I plan to refine my writing skills in courses taught by reporters, editors and other industry experts who have an insider’s knowledge of the craft. Ultimately, I hope to use my writing to do something extraordinary in the future.
Studying with the New York Times this summer is the first step, and that's where I need your help.
I am seeking to raise $4,500 to help with the cost of this fantastic experience.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and I promise to make you all proud and acknowledge you in my Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech in 2040.
