Some struggles I’ve had in my life have been an abusive and then absentee father, an abusive uncle, two older sisters who alienated me growing up, and bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts. I grew up with a single mother and she did her best to raise me and my sisters, and to her I am forever grateful. Use this information as you will. The prompt is listed below.
“ESSAY PROMPT: Drawing from at least two separate
chapters of David and Goliath, select two (or more) major
ideas that you found influential, surprising, or important.
Explain them in the context of the chapter (by briefly summarizing and using quotes) and
then explore the application of these principals—in your own life or in the lives of others.
What are two major things you learned from these chapters and how can you apply them to your own life or encourage others to apply them to theirs?”
