It’s almost impossible to go through life without feeling judged. Think about a moment when you felt belittled or judged by someone around you; a moment when you felt like someone was making unfair assumptions about you.
For instance, when I was a kid, I was extremely quiet. People assumed that I was strange and even at times rude because I didn’t actively participate in conversations. These are judgements.
Once you choose which instance to recount, form your answer by following the prompt.
• Write in first period POV (EX: I walked to the store).
• Include engaging dialogue (what did people say about you or to you? Did you talk about it with someone? Include this as dialogue).
• Reflection (talk about how these judgements made you feel and how the experience affected you as a whole. EX: I felt angered and didn’t understand why all the eyes turned on me).
• Vivid descriptions (describe how the people looked and what the setting looked like. EX: The hanging clock in the classroom ticked in unison with my quickening heart beat).
