Prompt: What did you do on your summer vacation? Sound familiar? This first of the school-year assignments was a writing prompt. It may jumpstart your writing now. Instead of the big picture, focus on a memorable moment or a snapshot, good or bad, funny or sad.

My response:
"A memorable moment of my summer vacation was when I went over to my aunt's house and spent the night. My cousins weren't really around because my older cousin had to work and my younger cousin was hanging out with his friends. My uncle watched us (my little sis and I) while everyone was at the race and he literally annoyed the crap out of me. Also, I almost drowned because their dog tried to "save" me and ended up pulling my head under and I got red marks all over my arms and legs.
