Option 1: This I Believe
You probably share a basic outlook on life with your friends. However, most people have a few beliefs that would shock their friends. Write about a belief of yours that annoys or surprises the people who are close to you.
Option 2: Making a Comeback
According to the cliché,
“Every setback is an opportunity for a comeback.”
In your life, has this proven true? Have you always recovered from setbacks?
