I thought about including this with my bullets, but decided it deserved a whole separate post.
This assignment began with a 10 minute timed writing on "a time that we failed."
After we'd done that, we whittled our story into 40 words.
Then 30.
Then 15.
Here's mine:

Semester home, earn return.
Amazing people expect me!
Learned other people fail, too.
I'm not sure it's powerful for other people, but I loved doing it. Try it when you've got a free 20 minutes.

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."
