Writing Prompts-Reflections

Graduation is a perfect time to reflect on the things we have learned on the way. The characters in these writing prompts were chosen to speak to a group of graduates. Write the speech they give where they share the greatest lesson they learned on the road towards success/failure.

3. A movie star who yo-yos between a successful life full of friends and blockbuster and one of utter failure filled with drugs and zero work.
