Imagine that you are old and on your deathbed...sorry. Your entire family and all of your friends are standing around you. As you look out to this crowd, what words of wisdom would you like to pass onto them? What life long lessons would you like to share? What's still on your bucketlist?
Think about what you would like to see accomplished in your lifetime, how is today's generation or the generation to follow going to achieve these goals? Who do you model your own life after and why? Think about these questions and then post a blog about the final words you've choosen and why?
Select three of the questions above and in no lesson than 350 words (thinks about it as 6 paragraphs discussing 3 significant questions. I didn't ask you what's your favorite candy bar, I'm asking what will your life be?) respond carefully. In your first draft of your blog, I want to focus purely on Ideas.
Keep in mind that this is a ficitional event...for now. If you would like to do this by telling a story feel free to do so. It may help for you to describe the setting and the people in attendance. Perhaps you have some celebrity friends in attendance, maybe the Pope has arrrived or Paris Hilton, it's all up to you. Have fun with this and try not to be too mournful.
