Meet Our New TEEN Contributor to TLT: Elliot

December 28, 2018 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

We are very excited to welcome Elliot as our first, full-time, regular TEEN contributor to Teen Librarian Toolbox. Read a bit about Elliot below and look for their posts in 2019.

Elliot

I am currently a student at [Name redacted for safety reasons] High School who wishes to pursue a career in journalism. I have been an avid writer and a human rights activist for as long as I can remember. My goal in life is to help other people and I believe that one of the best ways to help someone in a bad situation is to share their stories. Sometimes the only thing that a person needs is a voice; however, not everyone has the opportunity for their voice to be heard. I want my writing to be a voice for all of those who are kept silent and I want my writing to make a difference in our slowly declining world. Although times are tough, I believe that there is always hope: you just have to find it.
