Here are requirements for this paper. I would like to write something about believing in being a single mother… I am a single mother of two children… I work.. go to school and take care of my children. It has to be a good detailed Credo.
Instructions
State your credo, one core belief that guides your decisions. (Deirdre Sullivan’s essay “Always Go to the Funeral” is an example of a well-constructed credo.)
Use at least one specific personal experience to bring your belief to life for readers.
Select the details that best illustrate the belief you want to share with readers.
Move your writing down the abstraction ladder. (See Chapter 1: Writing and Thinking.)
Use specific, concrete details.
Where does the experience take place?
Who is involved?
Appeal to the senses. What can we see, hear, smell, or touch?
