Description

Once Upon a Freshman: 21 Students, 21 Stories
True stories. Real freshmen. Life-changing moments.

Once Upon a Freshman is a powerful collection of personal narratives written entirely by real ninth graders. In these pages, Gen Z students set aside their phones, pick up a pencil, and step courageously into the world of storytelling -- capturing the moments that shaped them forever.

From fear and loss to courage and breakthrough, each memoir offers an honest glimpse into the emotional world of today's teens. These stories are heartfelt, raw, and deeply human -- reminding us that young voices hold remarkable wisdom.

Written in the Chicago suburbs, this student-created collection explores:

• Friendships and fractures

• Family, identity, and faith

• Loss, resilience, and hope

• Defining moments that changed their lives


Perfect for parents, teachers, students, and anyone who loves authentic storytelling, Once Upon a Freshman highlights what happens when teenagers take ownership of their stories -- and bravely share them with the world.

These aren't just student stories. They're powerful reminders that every life -- no matter how young -- is already full of meaning.
