In our lives there are moments, decisive moments, when the direction of our lives was pointed in a given direction, and because of the events of this moment, we are going in another direction. Poet Robert Frost shared this concept simply as “The Road Not Taken”.

The date of a major achievement, the time there was a particularly bad setback, the experiences of meeting a special person, the birth of a child, the end of a relationship, or the death of a loved one are all examples of these fork-in- the-road experiences.

Right now, at this second, write about a decisive moment in your life. You have ten minutes. You may use this as a starting point for your My Story project.
