En abril, Sadler Means lanz贸 su iniciativa Muy bien, todos escriben: Introducci贸n a la escritura de diarios en Sadler Means.
Gracias a una donaci贸n del actor y profesor Matthew McConaughey, todas las estudiantes y los miembros del personal recibieron una copia de Greenlights, un diario lleno de temas que "fomentan ir hacia adentro: recordar, reflexionar y meditar, y tambi茅n ir afuera: aventurarse, tomar riesgos y so帽ar en grande".
La Dra. Oliphant, maestra mentora de Sadler Means, dijo que les dieron a las estudiantes otros temas, pero quer铆an que las estudiantes supieran que "deb铆an sentirse en libertad de escribir acerca de lo que quisieran" y que la "meta de este deber de escritura se trataba de su titularidad".
McConaughey colabor贸 con Sadler Means para revisar el progreso y dar su perspectiva sobre por qu茅 la escritura de diarios ha sido tan importante en su vida.
"Un diario me dio un lugar muy libre para hablar conmigo mismo... esas p谩ginas, ese papel del diario es para ustedes", dijo McConaughey.
McConaughey enfatiz贸 que un diario es una herramienta para conocerte a ti mismo y que, aunque "vas a conocer y aprender de mucha gente en el mundo, especialmente ahora que est谩s joven... no hay nadie que sea mayor privilegio y libertad y persona m谩s maravillosa que conocer que t煤 mismo".
