What relationships and/or experiences have been important to you in building your character?

Question

I don't know where to start. Please help.

Answer 1

Start with a sheet of paper and draw a big circle on it. The circle represents your life. Inside the circle, jot down things (4or 5) off the top of your head that you consider outstanding influences in your life. They can be recent or long ago. They can be people or events... THEN draw lines across the circle to give the most outstanding of those things the most room.

Then inside the space you have given that person or event, write down at least three one-word reasons why that event/ person was so important.

Now, you are ready to take another piece of paper and free write about the ones you would like to explore further.
You now have a "rough draft" which you can refine and organize. Have a good time writing. This sounds like an interesting assignment.

Answer 2

Thanks very much for the strategy-- it's easier when things are broken down like that.

Answer 3

You are very welcome! We will be happy to proof read or give further suggestions when you have finished your writing.

Answer 4

Thanks again! I'm going to post my rough draft as a new question
