Louisa, age 15, is one of the storytellers.

Small True Things is a project that records stories about the small, true things in the lives of students. Today on The Point, series producer Samantha Broun brings us pieces from the project. Some are funny, some are poignant, and each is heartfelt. Broun hopes listeners will recognize ourselves in what we hear, come to understand someone else a little better, and be open to making connections with others.
