"I learned how to be a better public speaker, how to better articulate my own thoughts in an effective way, and generally, how to be more comfortable sharing my own opinions while still valuing others’ views." —Sebastian from D.C.
For Sebastian of Washington, D.C., Great Books is a place where his creativity flourishes. In fact, the talented 15-year-old was just given a Silver Key Award in the 2020 DC Metro Scholastic Writing Awards competition. He won the award for his short story, The No. 3 Bus, which he wrote during Great Books Writer’s Workshop at Amherst College last summer.
