Describe a moment where you had to make a big decision, and describe the effect of that decision on your future.

Over the last 8 weeks you have read narratives that told a myriad of stories with complex themes and big-picture ideas. Now it’s time for you to tell your story. In this discussion, write a short (no longer than 250 words) narrative. You should use elements from the narratives we’ve studied (voice, description, elements of style, etc.). A grading rubric will be provided for you in the Assignment Expectations topic.

Consider these prompts to help you get started. You are not required to use one of these prompts.
