Writing Prompt 2/3/2021
The assignment is to write a one page response (double-spaced) about an event in your life that has helped shape you into who you are today. The event doesn't have to be something HUGE that happened to you, not all of us have those kind of things happen to us (others do and that's ok to write about too...). For example, it could be something as simple as having someone special to you help you through a hard time; it could be a book you read; a song you heard and have taken to heart. The important thing is to describe the event and how it changed you into who you are today.
The assignment may be hand-written, or typed. If typed please bring it printed out to class to turn in.
This assignment is due Monday, February 8.
