Now that you have a list of experiences it’s time to pick one. It doesn’t matter which experience you choose. Just start with one of them.

Download the worksheet and in the title space, write one of the experiences you collected on the previous worksheet.

For example, your title could be: How I Learned to Drive a Stick Shift Car.

Next, jot down some of the key moments or details of this experience.

For me, when I learned how to drive a stick shift car my kid brother was in the back seat counting every time I stalled the car. I also remember I was wearing brand new cowboy boots.

Your key moments or details will depend on the experience you chose to write about.

Were you alone?
How did you feel?
What was the weather like?

Once you’ve jotted down those key moments and details, think about what you learned from that experience or what’s your main point of that experience.

Jot that down in the space provided on the worksheet.
