Here’s a fun little exercise from the Webster Public Library. They’re hosting a six-word memoir contest for kids in grades 6-12. You’ll want to visit the library’s Teen Lounge bulletin board for an entry form, then let your creativity flow.
For inspiration, you can check out some examples at http://www.sixwordmemoirs.com. Entries will be judged by library staff and will be selected the week of April 8 to win a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble.
The Facebook posting where I saw this noted that adults aren’t eligible to enter, but encouraged them to comment on the posting with a memoir of their own.
I decided to play along. Here are a few I came up with for me:
Chiefs fan. Married Cheektowagan. Bills fan.
Parented three kids forever. Empty nesting!
Life’s an adventure; riding the wave.
How about you? Get creative and leave a comment with your own six-word memoir.
