Each student who read their writing had very different pieces and ways of reading their creation. From writer Mariana Gallardo, who read a frightening yet intriguing fiction story to Jade Sterling, who read her story in different character tones, to Mel Bernstein, who read a variety of short poems, there was a sense of differentiation. Gallardo, one of the “15ers” was the first one up to read her fictitious story which lead with an undertone of sadness and ominous events. Gallardo, who took a creative writing class last fall, and is also an English major and aspiring writer, said she had initially just turned in her story for a ghost story con- test as an extra credit opportunity. “I wasn’t really expecting to get any type of recognition but it was received very well and I placed fourth.” She said. This is marking her first time publicly reading her own work, she said, “This was very nerve wrecking for me I was really nervous about it today but I was really excited too.” An attendee of the event, Chris- tina Ramirez, said it was her first time hearing about the New Writ- ers Debut event and attended when she learned about it from professor Gaik who she’s taking a creative Armando jacobo/TM Art is born: A student art exhibition attendee stands in an empty gallery after the award ceremony and gazes into “Gestation,” created by Antonio Perez. writing class from.
