For one of my advanced placement classes, I had to write an example essay-- essay conveying your point through the use of examples (fyi). The teacher said it could be on anything "we were passionate about." As soon as these words came flying out of his mouth, I automatically knew what I was going to write my paper about!
In a nutshell, I told the story of a person, I named Susan, who lives in my county who became pregnant at 13 and gave birth at the mere age of 14! Susan had parents who neglected her so DFCS took her away from her them. She turned to sex for love and attention. After she became pregnant, she was admitted into a local second chance home where the agencies were able to defy all odds and keep her in school! She graduated high school but soon afterward, she had to go and live in the world again where she was neglected and did not have agencies making sure she was doing the right thing for her child and herself. She soon turned to drugs and lost her son to DFCS. After loosing the one person who she truely cared about, Susan realized she had to turn her life around! She went back to college and eventually got her masters degree in Social Work and she was able to get her son back!
Little bit of side information: our teacher picks papers to read out loud so that the whole class can "learn" from the writers mistakes or greatness. Well he picked my paper!!!! I did not care that he was grammatically correcting my paper in front of the whole class--- because I am horrible with grammar!!! I was just happy that he was sharing my paper for the class to hear!!! This was yesterday and it actually made my day! I did not even had to get up and talk to the class yet they still got to hear me advocate through my writing!!!
