Sue, if I may ask a question about the writing contest:
Quote:
Using 500 words or less, set a scene, using some sensory details, that describes one life-changing moment. Think about;

* How this moment marked a turning point, a beginning or an ending;
* How you feel about that event now, reflecting back, with the advantage of hindsight;
* If it was a sad or traumatic moment, did you overcome it and ultimately feel empowered? Or, if it was a joyous occasion, what did you learn from that?

Do you want our essay to contain ALL of these points, or are they just suggested approaches?
