How often have you wished you had asked your parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles about what life was like when they were younger? Young people usually don’t think to ask those questions until older loved ones are not around to answer. So, this is your chance to write down the stories of your life so that the younger generations will benefit from your wisdom, discover how you overcame difficulties or reached goals, and learn what life was like before computers and cell phones. The instructor will present topics for you to choose from, such as memories of your parents, your first job, etc., and class discussions will help spark ideas for your stories. You won’t write a complete autobiography as such, but you will wind up with a collection of memories that will become a cherished legacy for the younger generations in your family. Bring paper and a pen or a laptop if you wish, and don’t worry about spelling or grammar: It’s all about the stories! Copy fee of $1 at first class.
