This fall, she will attend Northwestern University to pursue a career in communication, writing, or art . . . or maybe all three. She would like to thank Sarah Robbins of the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project and Kathy Brister of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for their responses to drafts of this article. Meredith would also like to thank Lisa Crockett for lending her enthusiastic eighth-graders.
