This essay will have you reflect on the development of yourself. Using Nelson Mandela’s This Struggle is My Life as a professional model, I would like you to write an autobiographical essay which tells the story of you. This story can reflect a struggle that you experienced or can simply be a description of who you are what experiences and/or people have made you who you are. Consider, as Rousseau and Mandela have, how this challenge/experience may have helped shape you into the self that you are today. Remember to use sensory details to create a vivid mental picture for your audience. Please be very descriptive and include as many sensory details as possible; present them in a way that the reader has a clear mental vision of what you have seen, experienced, and remember. Use descriptive words to capture the vivid portrayal that you would like to convey to the reader.
Be sure to include a component on your favorite childhood story which has influenced you in some way to make you who you are.
