Write a personal narrative telling about the event. Describe what happened and demonstrate why it was so significant. Be sure to clearly identify the conflict, build suspense through a series of separate events, describe the climax, and show how it resolves the conflict. Make sure readers have enough details about your experience to picture it in their mind. Use techniques from the descriptive essay to make your story vivid.
