First, remember that video about the little duckies? If not, re-watch it here:
If you can't see it, it's probably because it's filtered by the SonicWall in school...sorry. You can check it out at home.
Next, write for about 5 minutes on this topic: How is the experience of the ducks a metaphor for coming of age? Think about all of the things that happen, the things the ducks face, and the way they deal with challenges.
Then, make up three metaphors about your own life. Try not to go the Forrest Gump route (yes, it's true that "life is like a box of chocolates," but try to be more original!). You could think about how your high school soccer career was like a boxing match. Think about some interesting and unique comparisons.
After you've come up with three, pick one and freewrite for 5-10 minutes.
If you didn't get a chance to finish your goals, which you likely didn't, work on those over the next couple of days, too.
