I ask my students to do some journaling each day. Some days it is just “free write” and they can write about whatever they please. Other days they need to answer a question or address a writing prompt.
The other day I asked them, “If you could do something that you’ve never done before, what would it be?”
Their answers were adorable…because they’re in elementary school…and really, they have their whole lives ahead of them, and could have chosen a billion different things…and because, there isn’t much they actually have done yet.
But, it made me think.
What would I do that I’ve never done before?
Well….
1. Swim with a whale
2. Be good enough to sing (and well) for a crowd. In fact, I can’t sing at all and SO badly wish I could.
3. Surprise some of the most important people in my life with the most amazing surprises.
I could go on and on.
What about you?
If you could do something you’ve never done before, what would it be?
Good Morning Gloucester

Thanks for answering, Donna! I’ve happy to say that I have done all three things on your list and HIGHLY recommend them all. I’ll do them again with you anytime!!!

I feel like one of your students pondering this question. The first three things that come to mind are to design and build a house (on the waterfront). It has to have enough acres to build homes for each of my children and a barn, too. 2) To become a full time documentary filmmaker. 3)To become a full time student. Dream away –#1 is most unlikely because #2 and #3 don’t pay very well!
