\"Adeel
\nAdeel Hassan<\/strong>: After graduating the program in 1994, Adeel went on to work in the New York Times as the Senior Staff Editor. \u201cIt gave me first-hand experience that no other teenagers could have,\u201d Adeel said. He also pointed out that because he was able to see and meet real newsmakers, he was given the inspiration to begin his dream. “It’s difficult to want to be a journalist if you’ve never met one, never stepped inside a newsroom, and never covered any newsmakers. All that — and much more — happened in one week, in which you’re essentially trying out a profession. It allowed me to begin to dream.”<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer
\nJennifer Mageary<\/strong>: Jennifer is a high school English teacher at Lynn English High School. She attended the program in 2008 and 2009. Through NEHSJC, \u201c[she] learned how to effectively communicate and problem-solve as well as work on my time management skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Baylee
\nBaylee Wright<\/strong>: After attending the program in 2014, Baylee went on to college at Syracuse University, and majors in International Relations.

Areej Hassan<\/strong>: Although we were not able to talk with Areej, we would be remiss if we didn\u2019t mention her success.
