Prompt: Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

 A truth I was afraid to accept was that American history that was taught in Elementary and Middle school was skewed towards a certain perspective that made certain groups of people appear better than they actually were. For instance, in Elementary school, I was taught that the origin of Thanksgiving was a peaceful congregation between English Settlers and the American Indians where food was exchanged. In reality, the English settlers often killed the Native American population, mainly due to the spread of airborne diseases.  Today in Multicultural Literature we would’ve continued and possibly finish our presentations today, however, a power outage resulted in the entire school having no electricity or internet, which meant that working on our presentations would’ve been impossible. Not much work can be done without electricity or the internet. I am doing good.

Prompt: Write about a fear you have overcome.

     I used to dread the thought of roller coasters, but I decided to overcome my fear by riding Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia. As the coaster climbed its towering 200-foot hill, my heart pounded, and I questioned my bravery. But when we plunged down that first drop, the fear vanished, replaced by exhilaration and freedom.

Prompt: Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

      If I were to write a letter to myself 10 years from now, I would most likely ask more questions about my life in the future. I would want to know what career I get, am I still in school, did I meet someone influential in my life? The reason I would ask questions as opposed to advice is the large time frame from the letter being written to the letter being read. After 10 years have gone by, anything that I wrote on that letter wont be able to change my life for the better or worse. I could write useful reminders in the letter, such as login credentials for old Internet accounts I have or certain statistics that I like to keep in my mind. I would probably hope for my life to be void of stress by the time I'm 28 and read the letter.
