Like everyone else, I would like to think I have had a pretty typical life free of any fantastic or life changing events. However, I have brainstormed a few ideas and this is what I was able to come up with:
Memoir I - The summer going into my junior year of high school, I found out that my dad decided to take a job in Ohio. My parents pretty much left me with the option of going down with them or staying up in Michigan to finish school with all of my friends. I ultimately made the decision to stay and finish school. As a result, I had a much different experience living with my grandma while my parents were down in Ohio compared to how it would've been had I chosen to go down with them or had my dad never even taken the job.
Memoir II - The summer of 2007 I took up my first real job working in a container board packaging factory. It was my first real job. It was also the same factory that my parents have each worked at for 25+ years each. It was interesting to work there, experiencing first hand what they had done for so many years and learning to have a greater appreciation for it.
At first I was leaning more towards Memoir I but after writing a bit on Memoir II, I think I could have more to say on II. I guess at this point though, I am in the middle of the two. What do you guys think?
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI think your second story would be very interesting. It's not everyday that you meet someone who has worked in a factory. I bet you definitely had different working experience than most of us in the retail, part-time world have had.
Hope this helps,
