Volume VI: In My Own Words 2016/2017
Volume VI is a special issue of Et al. that showcases narratives written for the In My Own Words program at Columbus State Community College during the 2016 - 2017 academic year.
In My Own Words provides a forum for sharing and celebrating the writing of first-year students. A central goal of the program is to nurture a fellowship of writers and a culture of excitement about the possibilities of the written word that will spill over into classes beyond our first-year writing courses. The narratives included here were selected by course instructors or students for their excellence. We hope you enjoy the writing!
