My first day at the Youth media project was very exciting for me. I enjoyed it to the fullest, and learned plenty of new things. I had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, lacked sleep and upon arriving to the program all of that just faded and I was mesmerized by the […]
My first day at YMP was exciting. It was very enjoyable. When I first arrived, I wasn’t sure about the boot camp because I had to meet a lot of new people that were my age. I didn’t know anybody except for my family. I like how Shaca and the rest of the committee introduced […]

The first day of the YMP bootcamp was extremely eventful. When I walked into the room and saw how many people were in the program I became anxious. I’m a pretty shy person and I was concerned that, that would keep me from fully embracing the experience. My nerves and shy tendencies seemed to melt […]
I learned about YMP from my teacher Mr.Perez. I’m James I’m 16 years old. I’m very outgoing as long as there is people to listen to my “rants”. I like to skateboard though I’m not very good at it. I like to take photos of stuff I find is cool like chemical reactions and sunsets. […]

My name is Jennifer Chavez, I’m a sophomore at Manor High School, (woot woot) Go Mustangs! I was born and am still being raised in Austin Texas. I’m a really iffy person, so there’s always a ‘but’ when I’m deciding on what I want to spent the rest of my life doing. I originally wanted […]
I had a great time on the first day! I enjoyed all of the activities and I really loved the social context added to each activity. I walked in feeling out of place since I’m in college and most everyone else it still in high school. I don’t know what the kids like these days so […]
Well first I must say we stand a lot! I know to wear comfortable shoes all day. BUUUT the day was extremely fun. I walked into a room full of chairs, welcoming people & food. It was a very welcoming environment! We started off with a bunch of ice breakers that made me really feel […]
On my first day at the Youth Media Project was interesting. In the beginning when I came in I sat by myself because I didn’t know nobody and I was kind of scared what we were going to do today. I taught that they were gonna make us do stuff without even introducing a were […]
