Hey guys, for our blog post we had to write a memoir but instead of using what happened but using What if’s to see if we could find different endings to our story. Other types of this writing can be further explained in these:
My Memoir will be about a more positive time in my life. It was after the summer and I was heading up to college for my first time. I was so excited to be living alone for the first time that I ended up wanting to leave my hometown so badly that I asked to go up early. But what ended up on the car ride up was something that I haven’t really done in the past. I started to think about what if? What if I made the right choice of the day that I wanted to head up, what if something happened on my way up to one of the people helping me move? In the end I was happy when I was heading up, gave me free time to adjust to my new environment and helped me get the lay of the land so to speak. And despite my concerns, everyone had made it there on time and safely. What if something was wrong when we got there? Had I filled out all the forms correctly? Luckily for me, there was nothing wrong. I still remember my first reaction to the room, it smelled of old wood, but in a nice way, like a summer cabin that hasn’t been used for a year. And floor was dirty from years of use, but the room was great. My family helped me set up it to my liking and there weren’t any forms I had to fill out, so it was nice and easy for me to just settle in. What if I didn’t make the right choices about going to this college? Eventually I found out that I did make the wrong choice for me, but in the moment, it felt right. I was able make good friends with my roommate and we still have a strong bond to this day. I was able to meet a good group of friends and I am still their friend today. All in all, there are many possible endings to my story. It could have been the right choice for me, people could’ve gotten hurt and there could’ve been so much more than went wrong.
