Topic 1: A Special Person in Your Life
In your daily life, you cross paths with many people. Some are strangers whose only interaction with you is potentially brief eye contact, a nod, a slight smile or nothing at all. Others become intertwined with you, whether it be the next door neighbor, friends from school, teachers, an older sibling, a mentor, and the list goes on. Of all these people, can you identify one person who made a difference in your life and holds a special place in your heart. Who is it? How do you identify with them? Where did you meet them? Why are they special? What did they do for you? In 300-500 words, tell us about this special person in your life.
Topic 2: What Motivates You?
Each day, we wake up, get out of bed and choose to either stay home, wander the streets, hang out with friends, attend school, participate in after-school programs, and the list goes on. Regardless of what we choose to do, it takes motivation or a desire to take part. What motivates you to get up each day, to participate in those daily routines or to try new things? Is it the desire to excel? The desire to learn? The desire to obtain approval? The desire to be accepted? In 300-500 words, tell us what motivates you in your daily life.
