Summary: This is the story of Amy graduating from high school while incarcerated at the Long Creek Youth Development Center (LCYDC) in South Portland, ME. )
I really enjoyed hearing from Amy. I don't know her, yet I'm proud of her accomplishment. Graduation is no small achievement - regardless of circumstances. And Amy had many difficulties to overcome. I thought the music used throughout the piece had the right tone and feel. Well done.
Well produced, a nice story. Coming from Youth Radio, it's obviously aimed at people about half my age, and I think it will mean more to people in that position. I would have liked to hear what other people think Amy and her efforts (she talks about how she thinks people might be inspired by her and her diploma). It would also be fun to learn how she's going about becoming a dolphin trainer, or how she got to want to be a dolphin trainer, or if that's just something she wanted as a kid, but doesn't really want to be now. I would have liked to hear more information, less of an outline and more details about some aspect of the story.
For a PD aiming for teens or young adults, this piece would fit perfectly.
