Reflective Response: (250 words)
Think of a specific time when you were at a crossroads and had a significant decision to make. As you write, keep these questions in mind:
- When was this? How old were you?
- What was the context in which you were making this decision? What other factors were important?
- Why did the decision seem significant at the time? Do you still think it’s important for the same reasons?
