Personal Essay About a Place

Create a personal essay about a specific place that is the most memorable for you and where you had a positive experience. (Please be aware that if you share information that is distressing, then your instructor is mandated to share that information with our counseling center.) • Consider the following questions when starting your essay: o What is a specific place that is particularly memorable to you? o What happened at this place that makes it so important to you? A personal essay is a combination of the description of the action or plot, details about the people/location of the essay, and reflection on what happened: • Begin by describing the place. Try using each of the five senses to show the reader what the place is like. • Consider the best conversations you had at the place and include that dialogue in your message. • Finally, be sure to offer your thoughts on the experience and what you learned from it.
