"Good Morning Class!"

_..."Good Morning Mrs. Bishop!"_ _"Okay today we are going to be doing a writing assignment. You must write a paper about where you see yourself in 25 years. After College. What do you see yourself doing as a career? Will you have a family? I will give you the rest of the class period to get started, and these will be due in 3 days. That is the 18th. Any paper that is late will lose an entire letter grade."_ *.1. .2. .3. .4.* *.5. .6. .7. .8.* *.9. .10. .11. .12.* So you have 'til the 18th. This is a 'getting into character' challenge. You are now writing as if you were the character writing about yourself. This is very difficult. You cannot think like _you_. The winner will be chosen on the 18th to write a special piece. This time the story is from the perspective of the student in 25 years. This means we get to see exactly what he/she is like when they grow up. How perspectives have changed. And please title your story with your character's name. Read my first comment on this story.
