A “snapshot” is a quick description and illustration that offers people from the
outside a better understanding of the topic or person. You will create your own
“snapshot” to tell the story of your life so people can have a better understanding
of you. In this rough draft, you will share 3 events that you feel have shaped your
life and are important in telling YOUR story. You must choose 3 events (a list of
ideas is provided below). Write a brief (short) narrative explaining what happened

your narrative has plenty of details as possible such as: who was there, what was

Insert Short Narrative or Story Here Insert or upload possible a picture related to
My favorite day ever was when my sister was your event here
born. I remember every detail of it. I remember I
was playing basketball with my old neighbor
when my parents told me they were going to the
hospital to take a tour of the hospital building. I
couldn't care less honestly. I mean , I wasn't
expecting anything. It was getting dark and my
mom still hasn't come home. I was getting
worried and I was over thinking that maybe they
were in a car crash. I waited until my aunt came
and told me I was sleeping over at her house. I
was excited to sleep over but I knew something
was wrong and no one told me. The next morning
I got the news that my sister was born. I was dead
asleep and when they told me the news I was wide
awake. I was really happy I was gonna get
company and have someone to play with. We went
to the hospital and I walked in the room. My mom
was in bed and she looked really tired and sick. I
felt bad. I saw my sister in a tiny bed. She was
red and pink and she had a lot of hair. I first
thought she was weird looking but i didn't care
because she was my sister. That was the best day
ever.

Event 1 Title: A memorable Big Trip

your event here
A memorable big trip was when I went to
Guatemala with my aunt. I went to visit my
family there and I've never been out of state
before. On that trip I learned a lot more about my
mom's culture. I learned how to do many stuff
and tasted many treats and food that i thought i'll
never like. I learned many things and it was fun. I
got to spend time with my family and meet family
members and friends from my mom's side whom
I never met. It was a good experience and I
enjoyed it.

III. (Important Event #3) What important life event or experience shaped who
you are as a person? This is written in first person.

Event 3 Title: My life when Covid closed schools…

Insert Short Narrative or Story Here Insert or upload possible a picture related to
your event here

My life was perfect and fun before Covid closed
schools. I had many friends and I was doing well
in school. When I found out Covid had closed
down schools, I thought it was for 2 weeks and I
would see my friends again. But not everything
changed for me. I was really bored in the house. I
had nothing to do. Only to eat, sleep and just stay
home. I couldn't see my family or friends. After a
month of covid, I had no one to talk to. Then it
was online school. It was the most boring worst
thing ever. I was really unmotivated and
everything seemed sad and boring. I failed many
of my classes which I still have to deal with right
now to this day. Covid ruined a lot of things like
friendship and people I never got to say bye to
and relationships with family members. But I can
also say it fixed a lot of things and changed me. It
changed me by being more mature and realizing
what's important and what to not take advantage
of.
