QuickWrite of the Day #31: ‘I’ve Got This’
"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)
Today’s QuickWrite of the Day:
After finding himself adrift on a life raft in the middle of the ocean, the main character from the book Life of Pi goes from “weeping” and “giving up” to becoming “bold”, “more agile” and a “better hunter” over time. He faces his fears and feels stronger for it —having experienced lots of ‘I’ve got this’ moments (involving catching fish and taming a tiger, to name a few!).
‘I’ve got this’ moments are those times in life when we face our fears and do things we never thought we could do, discovering newfound strength, resilience and abilities to take on new challenges.
With this in mind, have you ever had an ‘I’ve got this’ moment, where you faced a fear or did something you never thought you could do? What did it feel like? What helped you find the strength you needed? What did you discover about yourself? Write!
