DESCRIPTION:A memoir is not a record of everything that happened. It is a c
 arefully curated story about what mattered\, why it mattered\, and what it 
 means now.\n\nIn this three-week workshop\, participants will explore how m
 emoirists transform a lifetime of experiences into a compelling narrative. 
 Through discussion of published memoir excerpts\, we will examine how write
 rs choose which moments to include\, which details to emphasize\, and how t
 hey uncover deeper meaning within their experiences. Together\, we will exp
 lore questions such as: Why this story? Why these memories? And what makes 
 one moment more essential than another?\n\nParticipants will be guided thro
 ugh reflection\, writing exercises\, and memoir-mapping activities designed
  to help them identify meaningful stories\, recurring themes\, pivotal mome
 nts\, and emerging insights within their own lives. Through this process\, 
 students will begin exploring which experiences feel most alive on the page
  and what larger questions\, transformations\, or discoveries may connect t
 hem. By the end of the workshop\, participants will leave with a deeper und
 erstanding of the stories they may want to tell and a clearer sense of wher
 e a potential memoir might begin.\n\nParticipants will receive handouts\, s
 uggested readings\, and optional between-session writing exercises.For stud
 ents aged 13 and older.
