What Do You Care About?
What do feel very strongly about? What opinion do you have that others might disagree with? What really matters to you? Choose one thing that answers these questions and then explain why you feel that way. Make sure you list at least three reasons why.

Also, see if you can mention what a person who opposes your view/opinion might say in response to your feelings.
