Writing Workshop
with Jean

People, Places and Events That Shaped Us in Our Youth

Writers will choose one or more prompts that trigger thoughts about how our young lives were shaped by people, places or events...

 

  1. What's a place that shaped you as much as any person did?

  2. Who, when you were growing up, did you model your behavior after, for better or for worse?

  3. Was there an event in your youth that significantly impacted who you turned out to be in life?

  4. What is something about your family of origin you've come to appreciate over time?

  5. What's an experience from growing up when you realized your parents didn't have all the answers?

 

After we share our writing, we'll end the hour with our usual writing game that sends us off with a smile!

 

Jean Gasca has been a member of the Church in Ocean Park for over 20 years. While she taught math and science as a career, and now as a retired teacher and current tutor and life coach, she has always turned to art, music, reading and writing for enjoyment and relaxation. Her interest in writing as a path for relaxation and healing has deepened during the Pandemic and during political tensions in our country. She has realized how important it is to seek to understand our feelings and values, bring order to our perception of life’s events if daily life is chaotic, and sometimes to just play with ideas for a break from “doing.”
