Six-word memoirs written by WHS students are on display in the library - here are some samples:

• I want to surf the universe.
• Academics. Sports. Music. Stress beyond belief.
• Our love is friendship on fire.
• Expressing myself is easier through art.

Want to write your own six-word memoir?  You can contribute one to the display in the library or submit online at: http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/ (where you can also read additional six-word memoirs - over 260,000 in all!)
