What is it about?
In December 2001, my parents told my brothers and I that they were going to get divorced. They told us that we were going to finish fifth grade in Atlanta, Georgia, then my mom was going to take my brothers and I with her to Tampa, Florida.
So what?
The splitting of my parents was the biggest and worst thing that had and has ever happened to me. I was forced to leave my father, house, friends, and school and move to Florida. I left the easy life and I was thrown into a complete disaster.
2. Grandparent's Deaths
What is it about?
In November 2005, my grandma died of Alzheimer's disease. Then in January 2006, my grandpa died. My grandpa supported my grandma for about eight years with her disease. My grandpa was a healthy man when he passed, and our family believes he died so he could be with grandma once again.
So what?
Looking back on my grandparent's deaths, I realize that my grandpa was the single greatest man I had and probably will ever encounter. He was a great grandpa, husband, and father. Grandpa put his life on hold to help his wife with her disease. My grandpa is my role model, and he taught me many life lessons.
3. Baseball or football?
What is it about?
My freshman year of high school came with a big question, "Should I play baseball or football?" Both sports were a great part of my life, but living in Florida, these sports were year long activities. After days of thinking, I chose baseball as my high school sport.
So What?
Baseball and football was my life. Choosing baseball was a turning point in life because it was a learning experience. This taught me how to make big decisions, and I learned that everything ha s its positives and negatives.
I think the divorce one is the best to write about. It is something that is very important aspect of your life this would make this easy to write about. The grandparents one would also be easy to write about it jus comes down to which one means more to you.
ReplyDeleteI'd write about the divorce. It is definitely a big deal in your life and is something you can write a lot about i'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI feel that you should write your memoior on your first topic regarding your parents divorce. It sees that that paper would have the greatest impact on the reader because you explained it was "the biggest and worst thing that had and has ever happened to me." In writing this, I feel that you would be able to put in enough details and emotion to make the reader feel as if they are going through what you had to experience many years ago.
