I Really Like The Extremely Rare Opportunity...

by Ming Wong - Grad Class of 2010 Aug 10, 2010

I really liked the extremely rare opportunity to represent a magazine and to be able to interview musicians and other public figures. Youthink is an easy to read, colourful magazine aimed at high school teens. I like the balance between fun, top 10 lists and relevant teen issues.

I've learned the basics of conducting interviews and writing reviews. From reading the magazine, I also learned about up and coming bands and what's happening at other schools.

My best Youthink experience would have to be the interview I did with a representative from Converse. I got to check out the next season's collection of Converse shoes AND I got to interview the creator of a major arts+media website AND I got a free pair of Converse and a bag. Amazing is an understatement.

The benefits of having Youthink in the classroom is that it's free and easily accessible. It's fun to discuss with your friends the latest topics. We flip through Youthink when trying to come up with ideas for our school newspaper.
My peers like that it is free and it's good reading material during lax times in class.
