8、s she loved to dance, she found the weight of her responsibility heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.After retiring (退休) from ballet in 2007, Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for more than ten years before she decided to come back to ballet
9、, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet.Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).
10、Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.On the final day of camp, after a week o
11、f learning, the students put on a final performance (表演) for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Much to her surprise, it turned out to be perfec
12、t. She said, “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet.

17、 to succeed at home. But one remaining need in many families was Internet access.Christine OBrien, spokesperson for District 2 said, “When you had many people learning and working from home, sometimes there were Internet glitches. We wanted to avoid that and make sure students in our district could
18、have equal chances to learn and that our families could learn from home as well.” OBrien said that this year they made sure to survey each of their students to see who exactly needed the Internet.“This year we were really specific about asking whether families had Internet service at home without a
19、phone,” she said. They discovered that about a thousand families needed some sort of Internet connection.And thats where Altia came into play. A local software company heard there was an Internet shortage (不足) for students and it stepped in to see how they could help. Teaming up with local foundatio
20、ns (基金会), they were able to provide a monthly Internet service that allows many people to have Internet access at the same time. Mike Juran, CEO of Altia said, “At Altia we talked to Randy Rocha at District 2 and I just put out an email to friends and people that I knew and that made its way back to
21、 Pikes Peak Community Foundation and Norwood Foundation and people spread that around. Within weeks we were able to get something done.”“The community came together and helped us piece this part.

The podcast show features five teens having loose, s
26、incere conversations about mental health, school and family, friendships, and more. Sometimes they interview big names, including Loren Gray. But typically, the show is more of a free-form discussion. “There are episodes where we offer advice about teenage life, and there are episodes where we simpl
27、y talk about our experiences,” said Gael Aitor, 17.He got the idea for “Teenager Therapy” in 2018 after hearing “Couples Therapy”, a podcast by the YouTuber Casey Neistat and his wife. The then 15-year-old rounded up four friends to record the first episode of “Teenager Therapy”. “The first two trie
28、s were terrible,” Mr. Aitor said. “The third time we were happy with it, so we posted it online.” Building a podcast audience is no easy job, especially since the group of high schoolers had no marketing budget. To attract listeners, Mr. Aitor repurposed an old Instagram account, which had 20,000 fo
29、llowers. Within a few months of posting their first episode, “Teenager Therapy” had over 100,000 downloads a number it can take years for self-governing podcasts to hit. From there, the show kept growing. But part of the great popularity of the show is that its produced for teenagers by several host
30、s from the same age group. “People often say, I dont know who to tell but you guys,” said Mr. Aitor. “We never really scripted (写脚本) anything or planned it out.” Maya Gabay, 16, a rising high school junior, said the podcast was now her favorite show. “The podcast never holds back on anything,” said
