Why Tell Stories At All?

Are middle schoolers as scary as they seem? In this first episode of The Story Letter, we're at the starting line for this season all about personal stories: what they can do, why they matter, and how to tell them. We’ll talk about how a story can change both its listener AND its teller. And I’ll share a kind of lovely moment that I had with a fifth grader that showed me how powerful a personal story can be.
