If you hadn’t been there for me…

Sometimes you can be overwhelmed with everything in life: School, job, family, friends, etc. You
sometimes may feel a bit down, or helpless, you may have wanted to leave everything aside, but
somehow you got the courage to continue.
Most of the time, when you are feeling like this, there is someone willing to be there with you and support
you. These people help you to go through life and they are there with you when you need them the
most. They encourage you, inspire you and believe in you to get through the rough moments in your
life.

WRITING

INSTRUCTIONS: Think about one person in your life that has encouraged you to move on. Write a
small paragraph (100 – 150 words) about how your life would have been different if that person hadn’t
been there for you. Be sure to write how this person helped you go through this rough moment in your
life.
Example
My mother had a difficult start in life, but she became a fighter, for herself and her children. If she hadn’t
had such a difficult life, she probably wouldn’t have dropped out of university. If she hadn’t dropped out
of university, she would have become a doctor, I think, because she loved taking care of people. She
was a wonderful mother who brought up a very happy family; she wanted to give her kids the
opportunities she had not had herself. If it hadn’t been for my mother, I’d never have got to university.
She believed in me and made me believe in myself.
