Long Essay Two Ideas

At the young age of twenty-two, thinking about moments that have impacted my life have come far and few between. The traumatic scare that took place when I was six was always a memory that stuck with me and always will, which is why I chose it for Long Essay One.

The weeks for this fall semester seem to be going by so quickly and it's already time for Long Essay Two. Maybe it's the constant stress I have or the overload of upcoming assignment and things that need to get done always running in my head, but thinking about something to write for Long Essay Two has been a challenge. I had two ideas that may seem to work for this essay; one was about a long, lost family member. The other was about having Bell's Palsy. The latter of the two happened when I was in fourth grade and yet it seems like the memories of what happened to me have faded. I don't know why that is. The former idea, the one about the long, lost family member, it's complicated. As easy as it would be to tell the story, I don't think I am comfortable talking that in depth about my family.

My final idea was about my twin sister and I. There are no pivotal moments that jump out at me, but writing about myself and my sister seems like something that would come easy to me. We couldn't be more different than each other and yet we couldn't be closer.

These are just the few ideas I have and I don't know which to write or maybe I will think of something else. I guess only time will tell.
