Possible Topics for Narrative Essay

My first topic idea would be when I stopped at a car crash and helped before paramedics arrived.
1. The event is clearly identified. It’s very easy for me to remember exactly where cars were and what people looked like.
2. The setting can also be clearly described. This happened in the evening of July 5th, 2014 on Central Valley road in Silverdale.  
3. Vivid details: Because it was a powerful event for me, I still remember a lot of details and think I can bring those out to make the story come alive and also be intense.
4. Who’s telling the story? It would be from my own point of view.
5. Why does the story matter? It shows how even though people can be complete strangers, we can still work together and help each other.   

My second idea could be about when my friend got second degree burns from opening his radiator cap after his car overheated.
2. When and where did it happen? A Sunday afternoon, I could describe where he was, where I was, and then onto being in the emergency room.
3. What makes it come alive? I would have lots of details and direct quotations that would pull you into the story.
4. Who’s telling the story? It would be from my point of view
5. Why is it important? You meet all sorts of challenges in life and it’s important to have a good attitude and remember that a difficulty “Ain’t nothing but a thing.”

Kids in Peru
1. The event: My missions team performed a skit for kids, and then gave a few of them water and took pictures with them.
2. The setting: at a random park in Cajamarca, Peru.
3. Vivid details: describing the kids, the difficulties of different languages, and their excitement could bring the story alive.
4. The story would be from my own point of view.
5. Why is the story important? Even though we could barely communicate, the kids had so much excitement and love for us. Our differences didn't matter. What if more people had the attitudes of these kids?
