Three potential ideas for essay's central focus:
1. The September eleventh terrorist attacks
2. When my brother, Ryan, was born
3. When I moved to Florida
What are they about?
1. About 3,000 were killed in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. This seriously disturbed the USA and really had an impact on my life.
2. My youngest sibling, Ryan, was born with several medical conditions including jaundice and an enlarged soft spot. I was thirteen years old at the time and very scared for my baby brother.
3. On December 28, 2004, my family packed up and moved half way across the country from Connecticut to Florida. We left everything behind and had to start a whole new life.
So What?
1. As a young child living in the North, the September eleventh terrorist attacks were my first realization that true evil exists in the world. I could not understand why anyone would do such a thing and it made me feel less safe about the country and flying on planes.
2. When my brother was born with medical conditions I could not understand why I loved someone who I just met so much and I would not be able to take it if I lost him. I prayed more than I ever prayed before for him to get better.
3. When I was deciding if I really wanted to move to Florida, there were too many pros and cons that one really could not outweigh the other. I had to deal with so much in the process od moving and settling down in a whole new place.

I would write about moving to florida. I just moved here and it has definately changed my life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sara. A move from all the way across the country is a very major change, which you could write a lot about. Just moving from Sarasota to Orlando was a lot for me, and that's just 2 hours away.
