Freshman writers at Durham School of the Arts, a public arts magnet school in North Carolina, share the stories of their teenage lives in this wide-ranging collection of short memoirs. Originally written for a class project, the memoirs were edited by student Kaitlin Medlin and staff and supervised by teacher Alexa Garvoille. Covering topics from the power of the arts to the effects of abuse, from journeys of faith to chronicles of friendship, Going on 15: Memoirs of Freshmen reminds adult and teen readers alike to look beyond the friends, the classmates, the students, or the children we think we know, and listen to their voices.

I started flirting with a guy while waiting for my car to be serviced. Now granted, he wasn't just any guy. Tall. Dark. Hot. Mysterious. Can you blame me for wanting to talk to him? He's in town visiting his parents. So am I. He goes to the same college as I do. Such a coincidence. Almost as if our meeting is destined... But I shouldn't believe in that sort of thing. I am single as a Pringle and always ready to mingle. Until I keep running into Mr. Tall, Dark and Mysterious everywhere I go. Tony Sorrento. Turns out he's on the football team. I mean, I'm not one to chase after a sexy jock but, okay. I'm down. And did I mention he's only a freshman? Our fathers are business rivals, and they forbid us from dating. We need to keep this on the low. Can we remain friendly? Sure. Maybe turn our friendship into friends with benefits? Most definitely. Here's the thing though. I didn't plan on catching feelings for him so quickly. Seems like he's falling pretty hard for me too. Defying our fathers' wishes is only asking for trouble, but is being with Tony worth the risk?

Elite wheelchair racer, wrestler, and America’s Got Talent contestant Zion Clark joins with New York Times best-selling author James S. Hirsch for a stunning memoir—recounting childhood adversity, awe-inspiring perseverance, and self-invention. When a baby named Zion was born in 1997 to an imprisoned, drug-addicted mother, his future seemed bleak. Born without legs due to a rare condition called caudal regression syndrome, Zion was abandoned and shunted to a foster-care system ill-equipped to care for him. In this stirring memoir, readers will follow as he is bounced from home to home, subjected to abuse, neglect, and inconceivable hardship. Somehow, Zion finds supportive angels along the way: his first two foster families, who offer a haven; the wrestling coach who senses his “warrior spirit” and nurtures it; the woman of fierce faith who adopts a seventeen-year-old and cheers his every match. From play-by-play narration of how Zion adapts wrestling moves to defeat able-bodied opponents, wielding phenomenal arm and hand strength, to accounts of his extraordinary work ethic, unflagging optimism, and motivational speaking, this is an inspirational story of courage that will appeal to any athlete who respects determination, any young person facing adversity, and any reader who wants to believe in the human spirit.

After fifteen years of teaching anthropology at a large university, Rebekah Nathan had become baffled by her own students. Their strange behavior—eating meals at their desks, not completing reading assignments, remaining silent through class discussions—made her feel as if she were dealing with a completely foreign culture. So Nathan decided to do what anthropologists do when confused by a different culture: Go live with them. She enrolled as a freshman, moved into the dorm, ate in the dining hall, and took a full load of courses. And she came to understand that being a student is a pretty difficult job, too. Her discoveries about contemporary undergraduate culture are surprising and her observations are invaluable, making My Freshman Year essential reading for students, parents, faculty, and anyone interested in educational policy.

Many people who see Cort Schneider running, stare at him as though he is a unicorn. Cort was born with cerebral palsy, and as a result, he runs using forearm crutches. Many have trouble comprehending why someone who needs crutches to walk, would choose to run on purpose. The Trial of Miles explores how running helped shape Cort’s identity as a person with a disability. His journey as a runner transformed him from a child who hated his disability to a disability rights advocate and scholar whose acceptance of his disability also enabled him to become a husband and father.

What was it like to be in a Bible College music group? What was it like to travel with Ruben Ratzlaff, Dallas Meserve, Warren Bell, Jim Crain and Hal and Evelyn Martin? What was the Al Hammond Song? Where did Eileen Alder think we should sing? I'm sure you have never in your life wondered about those things, but they're answered in this book. This is a book about my experience in a Southern Gospel Quartet in my home church and at San Jose Bible College. It's about one of the most intense formative periods in my life. It's about an era, a church, a school, a style of music and how five over the top fellows learned to minister together. It also tells the most embarrassing moment of my life, but you have to buy the book and read it to find that one out.
