In our increasingly polarized society, it is more important than ever that each person gets to tell his or her own story, as unmediated and unencumbered as possible.

Being both a dreamer and pragmatist, I am simply moved that StoryCorps exists. There is not a story I have heard that left my emotions untouched. Capturing the precious moments of other human beings is the very foundation of society. As a collective, StoryCorps is our story.

Ten years after the terrible events of 9/11 and despite the many tributes and recollections, I didn’t really feel emotional about the day. I grabbed a cup of coffee and a donut and sat down at my computer to browse through my favorite websites. It was just another Sunday—until I viewed these three films. I’m no longer emotionally numb.

This is so amazing! The two main reasons high-school students drop out are family crises and because they think nobody at the school even knows they’re alive. This can’t change their situation outside of school, but just letting them know that someone in the school system cares about them and what they have to say is a big step toward keeping them in school.
