    It’s been a long time since I wrote a creative essay. Recently, with lots of time and lack of inspiration, I accepted a _________ to teach creative nonfiction. _________ I couldn’t get myself to write my own stories. I could require that my students tell theirs.

“You’re going to be _________ a journal in this class.” I said. “And I want you to tell your stories like they matter.”

“Why do they matter?” a boy named Michael asked. “I mean, who _________ about our stories?”

No one said a wont. Perhaps they were just tired from their _________ lives. Many worked full-time while in school full-time. Most might not have the faintest _________ that their stories did matter. They didn’t even know that their stories were stories — as beautiful and hard — as their own lives.

_______, I looked at Michael. “They matter because they do.” I said. “Because you’re here and you can tell them. Stories allow us to make _________ of what we’re _________. When you __________ your experience into a story, it becomes yours and not just something that __________ to you.”

Michael didn’t look __________, but he didn’t challenge me either.

Later, Michael wrote about how he grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Boston and how his high school teacher, who saw his __________, helped him fill out a college application.

I __________ Michael to read his essay out loud. After he finished, the class went so __________ that we could hear the sound of each other’s breath. I looked at Michael and saw a softening and __________ in his eyes.

After a moment, I said, “That’s __________ you tell your stories.” That night, I picked up my journal from where it __________, dusty and __________. For the first time in months. I had __________ to write.
