Prewriting for Essay #1

1.) Thinking about your own experience, was there a moment in time, similar to Mike's moment of "revelation," when you knew that you were going to college, when you knew that college was the right thing for you? Describe or narrate this moment.

2.) Or, was going to college always expected of you? Write about this expectation.

3.) Or, was going to college something that slowly seeped into your consciousness over time, without really any fanfare? Write about this realization.
