Recently I came across an open-ended sentence that got me
thinking. It was one of those sentences that doesn’t have a right or wrong
answer and could be taken in many different directions depending on what you
read into it. It could be taken lightly or given a really challenging response.
I was looking forward to using it with the students and was curious as to the
answers I’d get.
The sentence was:
“In my lifetime, I’d like to…”
I got some silly responses as I usually do but there were a
couple that stood out to me. One was “to
have my name known for good and respect.” I didn’t understand the next one at
first that said “Bring change to the following lifetime.” In other words, they
wanted to influence the generations that came after, something that keeps me
going every day.
Such an easy response but how many truly live during their
lifetimes, getting caught up in the complexity and stress of life instead.
So how about you: “In my lifetime, I’d like to…”
