Ana Stern: Moth教育项目为青少年提供了一个讲述个人故事的平台，帮助他们提升自我认知，并与他人建立联系。项目参与者最终都能在麦克风前自信地分享自己的故事，并获得观众的认可。 Moth教育项目为年轻人创造了倾听、互相欣赏和讲述自己故事的空间，让他们在创作和分享个人叙事的过程中，加深对自我、同龄人、社区和世界的理解。 该项目为10-12年级学生提供为期八周的免费课程，帮助他们构建社区，学习创作个人叙事，最终进行故事分享，提升从英语课到大学申请等各方面的技能。 Aravah Chaykin: 由于学校数学资源分配不均，我在学习高等数学的道路上遭遇诸多阻碍。尽管学校的数学老师和部门负责人对我的学习计划设置了诸多障碍，但我通过自己的努力，最终克服困难，成功学习了BC微积分课程。我的经历也鼓励了其他女生学习高等数学。 Iris Hernandez: 我在波多黎各的家庭聚会上因不会说西班牙语而感到沮丧和挫败。这次经历促使我努力学习西班牙语，最终提升了自己的语言能力，并增强了对自身文化认同的自信。
