Everyone has a story...the six-word memoir


Image result for old baby shoes



Once asked to write a full story in six words, legend has it that Ernest Hemingway responded:

"For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn."

Here are some others from Smith Magazine's collection:
Dave Eggers....."Fifteen years since last professional haircut."
Stephen Colbert....."Well, I thought it was funny."
A man dumped by his girlfriend...."I still make coffee for two."

In the spirit of profound brevity, write a six-word memoir of your life 

Don't steal from your classmates! Don't be glib or cliche.  

How can you best sum up your experiences in just six words?
