Think of a place that had special meaning to you as a child. What did it look like? Who was there? What happened there? Paint a vivid picture using as much description as possible to help your reader “see” this place as you did or do.
Think of a time when all your prior knowledge or understanding of how to handle a situation didn’t help you. Perhaps a time when you felt like you couldn’t rely on what you thought you already knew or understood. What happened? What was the outcome?
