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. […]
The first day of the program was really fun, I’d say. I got to meet some really cool people, and those who I didn’t meet, I still got to know some stuff about them because of the activities we did, such as the agree/undecided/disagree game, also the step in/out of the circle game, and when […]

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 […]
I feel like the first day was a great success! I walked in not knowing a single person in the class and walked out knowing everyone. I soon found out that I actually had a lot in common with the other students, older and younger. I really enjoyed the team buiding exercises, they helped me […]
In first day in the program was very interesting and exciting. I loved that all the activities were interactive and hands on, in which required us to meet and learn new things about new people. At first most of everyone was shy and isolated themselves or just stuck around the people they already new, but […]
