Write a 500- to 1,000-word personal narrative with a simple plot. Include enough exposition that the reader knows what's going on, some rising action to let the reader know what led up to the main event, a climax, and a short conclusion that reflects on the experience in some way. Here are some ideas for personal narratives:
An important announcement your friend, sibling, or parent made that changed your life
The moment you learned a critical lesson about yourself, people, emotions, school, and so on
Something you did that required courage; at first you were full of doubts, but you overcame them
A game or sporting event that was a close win or loss for you or your team
An argument or other confrontation that you had with another person, and its results
