Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a short story with only six words. His response to the challenge: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
In the tradition of Hemingway's brevity, an online publication, SMITH, publishes six word memoirs. A memoir is a form of autobiography that focuses on a specific time in the author's life that helped develop their personality.
Your assignment is to post your own "Six-word Memoir." If you need some inspiration you can take a look at some examples from your peers on SMITHTeens.
Have patience. Find the right words.
