"What a Name Means" by Alli, 17 | October 2019

My name is Allison. It means nobility, I am a silent achiever and communicate in a silent way. My name is Latin. I feel my name relates to me. When I was younger I communicated silently and now I am noticeable, but I am a silent achiever in many ways I don’t expect.

About Alli: "My name is Alli. I came to Passage because I was angry and self-conscious. The challenges I faced were that it’s not all about me all the time. Now I know how to use my coping skills when I’m angry. What I like most about nature photography is that you can take a photo and other people might take the same subject, but from a completely different perspective. I took photography classes outside of Northwest Passage, inside I learned more, and I hope to teach others when I leave."
