Story Contest at Operation Exodus Inner City, NYC

There's a wonderful after school program in Washington Heights called Operation Exodus Inner City. They also have a Saturday Mentoring Program that reaches over 100 neighborhood children every week. As part of their efforts to boost the children's passion for literacy and imagination, Operation Exodus held a story writing contest, and I had the honor of telling the two winning stories this past week at the Friday assembly. One was titled "The Day I Shrunk my Mom", and the other was "The day I Became a Cartoon". They were a ton of fun to tell, and I had some great onstage help by the winning authors!
