Scope and Contents
Published in May 2013, I Want You to Have This is a collection of 55 essays written by students from Boston International High School, all of whom speak English as a second language. Twice a week during the academic year, tutors from 826 Boston, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students with their creative and expository writing skills, went to the school to help edit and make suggestions about the students’ writing. The result is a collection of essays about an object that is important to each writer.

Statement on harmful description
Archival description reflects the biases of time periods and cultures in which it was created and may include direct quotations or descriptions that use inappropriate or harmful language. Creator provided descriptions may be maintained in order to preserve the context in which the collection was created and/or used. Legacy description and potentially offensive content may be made available online until a collection can be reprocessed because the access that they provide to primary source materials is uniquely valuable to the research community at large.
