Mission _ APersonal Narrative STEP 1 Plan your story. Write your own personal narrative about a time in which you suffered a challenge, overcame it, and learned a valuable life lesson from it. SAMPLE In high school, I once had to build a small hovercraft for an engineering class final. Each team got $300 for supplies and access to the school’s storage. I was in charge of hovercraft construction and supply ordering. I ordered supplies online, but they were too expensive, so I cut a few components from our design. Meanwhile other teams got supplies from school storage. I later realized I could have saved money by checking the school’s storage and shopping around online for better deals. The rest of my team did a great job on their parts, but I knew I could’ve done better. I emailed my teacher directly to take responsibility for our hovercraft’s underperformance. I ended up with a lower grade on the project than the rest of my group, but I’m glad I didn’t bring them down. I learned to always take my time before using any resources to make sure that I’m using them wisely, and never to make a purchase before shopping around a bit –both in work and outside of it.
