You’ve now been on Earth for You’ve now been on Earth for somewhere between 17-19 years…somewhere between 17-19 years…

in that time?

…what have you learned

about life

Do dreams come true?

Do difficulties make you stronger?

Is the long way sometimes the best way?

We all have positive and negative events in our past that have somehow shaped our lives.

Think about how you could connect one of these events to a

quote quote or “Law of Life” “Law of Life” that relates to your experience.

You will be writing a “Laws of Life” essay about this experience.

For example…

My quote would be:

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on

arriving.”Lao TzuLao Tzu

My essay would discuss what I have learned from my travels that I

can now relate to my life.

For example…

The times that I got lost or wandered off the beaten path

were the times I learned the most about wherever I was visiting and

about myself.

I would relate that idea to a specific event in my life that was a struggle for me, and then I would discuss what and how I learned

from it.

What “Law of Life” quote could you relate to your life experience?

It could be anything…a song lyric, a famous quote, a saying…

“Courage is grace under pressure.”Ernest Hemingway

“In order to discover new lands, one must be willing to lose sight of

the shore for a very long time.”Anonymous

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

Semisonic

“Where there's a will there's a way.”English Proverb

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

Albert Einstein

“Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow.”

James Dean

Reflect on your own life.

From what have you learned and grown?

Write about it… …It could be worth $1000.

Good luck.
