Sometimes it helps to have a specific question to begin a story from.

Tell a story about…

• An event that taught you a lesson
• A time when you were healed
• A time when you experienced prejudice or stereotyping
• The best advice you ever received
• A time when you helped somebody else
• A time when you had to make a big decision
• A time when you learned a new skill
• A time when you taught someone else a new skill
• A time when you overcame an obstacle
• A time when you made a difference in somebody’s life
• A person who you admire
• A time when you were scared
• A time when you worked (or played) as part of a team
• A time when you felt misunderstood
• A place that is special to you
• Your goals for the future
• Your hopes for your children or family
• Something you fought for
• Something special about your community
