365 Writing Posts: Might as well jump

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take–but haven’t been able to? What would have to happen to make you comfortable taking it?

In my mind the biggest risk I took was when I enrolled in college. It was a  risk for me, I was young I had no idea who will pay my tuition fees. My father passed away, my mother had no income. She was a housewife, my eldest  brother spent all of Dad’s money in a business he had no clue about.

Where I come from,there is no such thing as a  student loan. If I wanted to study my mother would have to pay for my books and tuition fees.It was not possible for her, the money dad left was wasted by my eldest brother.

Fortunately I had two older brothers who encouraged me to register in the local college and they agreed to take care of my educational expenses, both  were working and getting a decent salary. They also took care of the household expenses which included fees for my younger siblings.

I’m not keen on taking any other kind of risks.

365 Writing Prompts: A little sneaky

Are writing prompts a useful exercise, or do you find them to be too limiting and/or hokey?

To me writing prompts are useful as long as they do not suggest knowing about people who write these prompts, I know some use it in a different way and ignore writing about themselves,which is a good thing.

There are a lot of prompts where they want us to write about us, I am tired of doing it. There are a lot of things it can focus on and leave out knowing about people who write these prompts.

By this time I think I have written a lot about myself, anyone reading it will have no trouble writing a biography of me.

It’s time the prompts given to us is something more educational than knowing about us as persons. There are a lot of topics that can help one’s general knowledge.
