Foreword
“Writing is a magical medium. It’s a vehicle for communication, connection and creativity.
It’s an opportunity to learn and grow, have fun and sharpen your senses.”
Margarita Tartakovsky,
In her book, Your Child’s Writing Life: How to Inspire Confidence, Creativity and Skill at Every
Age, author, educator and literacy expert Pam Allyn says that kids need to start writing early
because writing helps to cultivate emotional growth, develop critical thinking skills and improve
school performance. Being able to express yourself is a “skill and gift. By cultivating this
capability in your child, you are giving him the priceless power to share his thoughts and ideas
with the world in a meaningful way.”
It is this skill and gift that The Oakland Mills Local Leadership Team in partnership with The
Jacaranda Center for Family and Youth Development, Inc. sought to give to the children of
Oakland Mills through the Generation Write Now Creative Writing and Publishing Program.
The goal of this project was to give the children a safe place to unleash their imagination,
creativity and artistic expression without judgement or manipulation, while expanding their
understanding of writing as an art form. At a time when COVID-19 was causing disruption and
stress, children in the program were able to find joy and solace in their writing.
The Masterful Minds of the Middle Schoolers is an anthology that reflects the unfiltered voices of
a group of courageous middle schoolers who dared to put their short stories, poems and quotes
down on paper for the world to see. We celebrate our new published authors!
Funding for this program was provided by the Howard County Local Children’s Board.
Thank you.
The Oakland Mills Local Leadership Team and
Chisha Johnson, Executive Director
The Jacaranda Center for Family and Youth Development, Inc.

Generation Write Now: Our Philosophy
Generation Write Now is a creative writing program that motivates
students to write their most treasured thoughts authentically. Our
writing and publishing program are geared towards students 5-18
years old. Our goal is to allow students to creatively express
themselves into a lifetime achievement of a published book.
With our writing sessions, we give students the freedom and the
platform to submit their work that reflects their voice.
Our goal is not to teach students how to write and submit a polished
piece of work; our goal is to show students how to use writing as an
outlet.
With that said, our team does not edit or alter any of the student's
submissions. We are very proud of the work produced by each
student. We celebrate their courage to share with the world the words
from their heart.

Harry Tucke13ry’esarAs Ouldtobiography
A man named Harry Tucker that was normally on a call
got a job so he could be the one to do it all.
Eventually, his brain was right on the ball,
the cash that could be used from scrap,
After that, it led him
to success and then after “that”
he was 40 years old when his mom turned to ash
and he saw when she went in a bowl.
He was devastated and he wished the best
for his mom to get elevated into heaven
and Mr. Tucker missed his mom so bad he exploded into a bomb.
Danadyssalawtehri,swcihthildhhisoboadgbheeawr tehnattobnenhtishciommwphuetnerhe saw the price tag.
He got mad and furious; a bit curious
when he saw his Robo-bot 5-3-2-4.
So, he stomped out the door.
That was my writing piece so please bow
for this amazing class, Generation Write Now.
