==List at least FIVE memories you have from BEFORE 7th grade (or 6th grade if you're a 6th grader). These can be good memories, bad memories, silly memories, or anything at all in between. If nothing else, they should all be __powerful__ memories. Maybe a lesson learned, or something realized that you will always remember. Once you have written a list of at least five, pick one to start telling the story. Imagine you are telling it to someone who doesn't know you, and let it all out.==

For instance, my list might be:

1. Dad bringing home a snapping turtle - for some reason it was a solid memory, with lots of little ones mixed in. 2. Mom crying about something in the kitchen - I had never seen her cry and it scared me! 3. My parents telling us we were going to get another sibling. 4. The day Mom told me that Dad had moved out forever. SO excited! 5. When my best friend Ron moved to California - I had no idea who I was without him because we'd been together for so long.

One of these memories got turned into a short story/memoir that I will share soon. Those who are crafty can find it already. :)
