Memoir Assignment: Invention


  1. The Columbine School shooting and Virginia Tech shootings.

-What is it about? So what?

The Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings have given me a new sense of

awareness in school, and other populated areas. I understand since then that I

never truly am safe, and something bad could happen at any time.


  1. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

    -What is it about? So what?

        The September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have, much the like school shootings, made me more aware of my surroundings. Such as looking out for suspicious activities on any sort of public transportation, especially planes.


  1. The flood in New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina.

    -What is it about? So what?

        The flood in New Orleans has reminded me about how lucky I am, living in Florida, to not have gone through and type of disaster caused by a hurricane. It also reminds me that everything I have could possibly be gone in a flash, so I have learned to savor everything I have, not just including material possessions, but family and friends as well.

  2. My summer job at a factory called NADCO.
-What is it about? So what?

Over the summer of 2008, I worked at a tape and label factory called NADCO.
Working there made me realize how lucky I am to have the opportunity to go
to college, and I should definitely take advantage of it to avoid ending up
working in a place like that.
