3 ideas for memiors

1.Being in trouble with the law as an adolescent and how it effects me then. Also, how it changed me today.


2.How big of a part sports play in my life.


3. My close relationship with my grandmother and how her death as well as her life has impacted my life.


What is it about?

1. This idea is about the problems I had growing up. I've always been energetic and I guess looking for different outlets, I choose to go down the wrong path. I do believe that if i hadn't chosen to do so then i wouldn't be the person that I am today.
2. I love sports. My whole childhood I played every sport i could get my hands on. My one true love is football, but I just like getting out and competing.
3. My grandmother and I were inseparable until the age of seven. She was everything to me. She lived right below me and if she was home, I was by her side. Her death was very hard on me and it had a strong impact on me.

So What?

1. Getting into trouble growing up had sculpted me in the person I am today. I believe the chooses I made were wrong, but at the same time, I could still be making these wrong decisions if I hadn't got them out of my system at a young age.
2.Playing football is a way of life for me. Even though I didn't make the best decisions growing up, it could of been a lot worse if i hadn't had football as an outlet. Any time something is bothering me, football takes my mind off of it.
3. If i could spend a day with anyone dead or alive, hands down it would be my grandmother. She is the strongest person I have ever met, and I know if I could have half the strength she had, then everything will be OK.

  1. I think writing about your grandmother would be the best choice. Grandparents mean a lot to most people, so many people could easily relate. And it seems to me that you have the strongest connection with this choice, so it would be the easiest to write about.

  2. To me it seems like writing about your grandmother would be the best choice because people can relate to that topic and you would be writing with emotion which would captivate the reader.

  3. The first or the third topics would be my choice. The first one does give you a chance to describe interesting people and memorable scnees, as well as to give some relevance. I think that the third one could be good also, but I'm kind of interested in redemption stories...
