My Assignment:
Write a reflective essay in which you explore a personal experience or an event and reflect on its deeper meaning.
I'm between a rock and a hard place with trying to find the perfect topic for this. I know you don't know anything about experiences I have been through, but could you just give a pointer on what you as a teacher would think to be an excellent topic for this type of essay. Maybe it could be something EVERYONE goes through at some point, but I have seriously been contemplating on this for at least an hour and a half and I have absolutely no idea what to write about. I'm having some serious writers block. If you could help me I would be so unbelievably grateful. Thanks in advance.

When I was about 11 years old, a friend and I traveled by street car, elevated train, and subway to go downtown Chicago. We were told the wrong stop to get off so we went farther than we needed to. At that point I had to use my head and figure out how to get to our destination. That was one of my earliest experiences with independence and thinking my way out of a jam.
