Prompt
Write a personal narrative of your own about a meaningful life experience.

We’re not asking you to write to a particular theme or to use a specific structure or style, but we are looking for short, powerful stories about a particular moment or event in your life. We want to hear your story, told in your unique voice, and we hope you’ll experiment with style and form to tell a tale that matters to you, in a way you enjoy telling it.

Rules
1) Your narrative should be a short, powerful, true story about a meaningful life experience.
2) It must be 600 words or fewer, not including the title.
3) It must utilize imagery, dialogue, setting, and/or characterization (at least one).

It can be difficult when completing college applications to reflect on your characteristics and successes. Many of us are uncomfortable thinking about ourselves in this light.

To help with this, you’ll complete an interview with a family member or trusted adult (parent, guardian, sibling, aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc.) and ask the attached questions about yourself.

You should ask the question and then type up their responses as complete thoughts (but not necessarily as complete sentences). You do not need to type their answers word-for-word.

1) First, take the personality test here: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

2) Complete the attached Google Slides on your personality type.

Once you have made your professional email (go watch the Loom!), create an email to send to myself (Ms. Bane) and your counselor (Ms. Kelly). Make sure to “Mark as Done” on Google Classroom once you’ve sent it!
