Autobiography Rough Draft 09/10/09

1. Quick anecdote about a time you were terrified/happiest/changed - a time ay which there was something AT STAKE.

My friends and I decided to go walking in some fields close to our neighborhood. We were walking for a while and then we came up on two snakes that were hiding. No one was really paying any attention until I looked down and told them to stop walking and look at the ground. They started to move towards us close; however, we were able to escape.

2. What does that say about you?

It says that I am outgoing and like to be around my friends. It also can say that i left when I saw the site of danger. I do not like to put myself ina situation that could be extremely harmful or fatal.

3. What is different about that than the way you would like to be perceived?

I would like to be perceived as brave and somewhat of a risk taker. I would not mind doing some dangerous things, just not involving snakes that could have been poisonous and attacked us.

4. What is it about the experience/anecdote that would make anyone be able to know the experience as something that they can feel/think/remember/understand?.... UNIVERSALITY

You could just imagine a snake appraoching you while you were just casually walking. It was a very intense situation. You could go walk into a field and look around and most likely come across a similar situation.
