The criteria were as follows: We had to write a story about a major event in our lives. The story had to be true, it had to be less than seven minutes in length, and we had to show how it affected our life. After it was written, we had to present it for the class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">When it was first announced that we had a three-week storytelling project, I wasn\u2019t exactly thrilled, but once it was further explained, my excitement began to grow. This wasn\u2019t an analytical essay on The Iliad; I would get to talk about myself. I love talking about myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The first step was figuring out what to write about. The obvious choice was to write about the murder of my uncle, which taught me that it\u2019s important to let people know how you feel about them before it\u2019s too late. While this is one of the most important lessons I\u2019ve learned in life, I\u2019ve written about that for every English class I\u2019ve had since the fifth grade. Not only did I want to write about something new, for a change, but I wanted to write about something less upsetting. This decision led me to the topic I ultimately chose: how Beetlejuice, a classic Tim Burton film from the 80s, made me gay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">One of the things that made this project so great was that the story was not supposed to be performed word for word. It was supposed to be told casually, as though you were telling a story to a group of friends. In fact, we didn\u2019t even have to turn in the written speech (my story notes are pretty much entirely in text speak).\u00a0 That removed a lot of pressure; but there was still the discomfort of coming out to my whole class. Anyways, I performed my story, and of course, all of my apprehensions were nullified. I had fun, my classmates were receptive, and it was, for lack of better phrasing, super chill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">I ended up getting a perfect score on the assignment, but that\u2019s not where this story ends. There was going to be a show in the auditorium at school one night where nine students would perform their stories in front of an audience. I decided to do it. The school auditorium show led to an opportunity to share my story at the community-wide storytelling event, Arctic Entries, in front of 750 people. I was definitely nervous, but I rose to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Since performing my story at Arctic Entries, I\u2019ve been approached by many people who attended the show as well as those who heard it on the radio, and it\u2019s just overall been a really cool experience. So far I\u2019ve not received any negative feedback, but I understand that putting my story out into the world could elicit that. Having never experienced homophobia, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019d respond. What I do know is that I want to reach other LGBT+ kids who aren\u2019t used to hearing about other people like them. And I want to tell them it\u2019s OK to wear any label they choose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">-Rion Iverson, Anchorage, AK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>&#8211;<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"post-title single\">In Other News:<\/h3>\n<p>Story Works student storytellers from Anchorage\u2019s West and Dimond High Schools have been featured on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/alaskateenmedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alaska Teen Media Institute\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0youth radio\u00a0show, In Other News!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alaskateenmedia.org\/november-28-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to these students share their\u00a0stories here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alaskateenmedia.org\/november-28-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1143\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ion-300x299.png\" alt=\"Student Stories on Youth Radio ATMI\" width=\"300\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ion.png 300w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ion-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ion-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>&#8211;<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Storytelling gives refugee teens a voice in their new community<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"meta-author\">By\u00a0<a title=\"Posts by Anne Hillman, Urban Affairs Desk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alaskapublic.org\/author\/anne-hillman\/\" rel=\"author\">Anne Hillman, Urban Affairs Desk<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"meta-date\">August 20, 2015<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"meta single\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"meta single\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"fb-root\" class=\" fb_reset\">Listen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alaskapublic.org\/2015\/08\/20\/story-telling-gives-refugee-teens-a-voice-in-their-new-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div class=\" fb_reset\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Olive-and-Furaha-at-RAIS-Workshop-Photo-Courtesy-of-Alaska-Teen-Media-Institute-1-e1453591322381.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1265\" src=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Olive-and-Furaha-at-RAIS-Workshop-Photo-Courtesy-of-Alaska-Teen-Media-Institute-1-e1453591322381-300x149.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Olive-and-Furaha-at-RAIS-Workshop-Photo-Courtesy-of-Alaska-Teen-Media-Institute-1-e1453591322381-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Olive-and-Furaha-at-RAIS-Workshop-Photo-Courtesy-of-Alaska-Teen-Media-Institute-1-e1453591322381-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Olive-and-Furaha-at-RAIS-Workshop-Photo-Courtesy-of-Alaska-Teen-Media-Institute-1-e1453591322381.jpg 786w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Olive Mtoni records Furaha Sefania outside of UAA.

An Anchorage non-profit called StoryWorks is helping teenagers find their stories, and this summer they focused on students who arrived in the state as refugees.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mp_1440786151275\" class=\"mbMiniPlayer black shadow\">A group of students and their story-telling mentor lounge on couches at UAA telling each other about their lives.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cDid you learn something from that day?\u201d Rosey Robards asks 17-year-old Furaha Sefania.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen-year-old Olive Mtoni interjects in Swahili, translating for her new friend. Both girls are originally from the Congo, but Mtoni\u2019s family fled the war-torn nation to Rwanda before she was born. Sefania\u2019s went to Mozambique. They met for the first time at East High in Anchorage late last year. But that\u2019s not the story Sefania has chosen to share\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Wakati nilikuwa nacheza mpira na rafiki zangu, na mdogo\u2026<\/i>\u201d Sefania tells her story.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s talking about a time when she was 12 years old and playing soccer with her friends back in Mozambique. Her little sister calls her to come eat and she refuses to go. When she finally heads home two hours later, the food is gone. Her sister laughs because she received extra, and her mother admonishes her \u2013 if you like soccer so much, than you can eat it! Sefania says she learned to listen to her mother. So why tell this story?<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Niliona tu, tuongee.<\/i>\u201d She just thought of it when chatting.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the whole point \u2013 stories are just moments to help people understand each other. That\u2019s why 11-year-old Khalil Edais participated in the program. He was born in Anchorage but he loves storytelling and wanted to learn about the other kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the kids have stories to tell, so this is like a big camp for them because they have big stories from their countries that they told here, so it\u2019s pretty big for me to come here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Edais learned about a girl who climbed a tree, was distracted by a monkey, and ended up at the hospital getting shards of wood pulled from her arm. A boy told about the disappointment of leaving home for a cold place but eventually making new friends.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Kovarik, the program director of Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services, says these stories can help the community understand people from other nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really wanted to give the youth an opportunity to have some voice and to learn to tell their stories and recognize how powerful their stories are and how much they have to share with the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1931\" src=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rosey-Iqlas.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Rosey Robards chats with Iqlas Dubed. \u00a0(Photo Courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/alaskateenmedia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alaska Teen Media Institute<\/a>.)<\/h6>\n<p>Twelve-year-old Iqlas Dubed shares the story of her first bee sting \u2013 just a month ago, near the Campbell Creek Science Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I ran around, ran around, ran around.
