So I’ll write. She claims she isn’t going to read them, just wants to see that we did the writing. For whatever reason, that doesn’t make it easier. I mean really, how could she not just skim them a little bit?! 1. Written Self Portrait Write freely (no concern for spelling, structure, etc.) Who are you in your family? With your friends? What do you like to do? What do you think about? What do you look like? What makes you happy? or sad? or mad? Who is the person that everybody sees? Who is the person deep inside that no one sees?
