Generating Ideas for Personal Essay

At first i was very stuck on trying to come up with an experience of my own to use for my personal essay. I had a couple of ideas in my head but felt none of them had enough detail i could use to write with. After a couple of days of being assigned the personal essay, i finally came up with an experience i think will be perfect for me to write about.

  1. Glad to hear it! Can you be more specific? And I'm wondering what your strategy was for coming up with that idea? Any advice you can offer to others who might have a similar assignment?

  3. good starting sentences the part about your brother passing over the newspaper made me want to know what it said.Just a sugestion decribe how the people with cameras made you feel a sentence or 2 earlier. Maybe after you walked in the room. Over all a nice easy to read essay.

  4. what you experienced,and how you wrote it, will keep others wanting to have the same good experience. See you open a door, your picture in a paper, what next as JaqrodN put it. Could lead to other children actally visiting with there mom/or dad. Good article.
    Interesting subject. Keeps your attention.
    Maybe my suggestion of travel made you think of flying to Portugal.
