ASSATA ANDREWS

YEARS AS MENTEE: 2

GRADE: Senior

HIGH SCHOOL: Hillside Arts and Letters Academy

BORN: Queens, NY

LIVES: Queens, NY

MENTEE’S ANECDOTE: At first, I was afraid to start all over with a new mentor because it is tough for me to meet new people. However, Kate was able to take all of my worries away and I am able to talk to her about topics that I wouldn’t with my friends, making me enjoy meeting her every week. She gives me criticism that gives me the ability to think about what I want my work to become. Also, Kate makes sure that I understand my goals. I appreciate her hard work and the good atmosphere that she brings every week.

MENTOR’S ANECDOTE: Assata’s creativity is really inspiring and I’ve been impressed and amazed with how she plans out her stories. I have learned a lot from talking to her about time management and relating about our shared perfectionist tendencies. We’ve both been juggling lots of deadlines this year, so we are really ready to plan something fun. I think often about how much braver she is than I was when I was her age and how clear she is about her writing goals, and I’m really excited for her to continue expanding her writing horizons in college and beyond.
