Based on your pre-writing ideas, pick one of your topics and expand it into a draft.  Keep in mind that you have a clear thesis, have already planned out the steps in your story, and should have a good idea how each step ties back in with the thesis.  The essay should flow naturally from this structure (intro with thesis, point 1, 2, 3, conclusion) particularly because you can rely on chronology to plot out your points.  That is, of course, unless you are intentionally disrupting time to make a point in your story.  No need to create the next Inception but, if you’re up to the challenge, go for it!  Also, remember to get in the habit of either using the APA template from the “Start Here” section, getting handy making your own template, or ensuring that each submission you make has a proper title page, running head, and follows all APA guidelines.  Save your document as either a .doc or .docx (Word document) and upload it to this discussion board by attaching the document to your post.  Do this by Wednesday at 11:59 PM for half of your credit.

2. Miracles in the everyday life. 

Real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize. A blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black curious eyes of a child, our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

• No matter where you live, you see the same moon as everyone else.
• Random acts of kindness. A smile and connection with a stranger.
• Friendship. Every day people are connecting, forming friendships, valuing friends they already have. We get to choose who we want to spend time with, what we talk about, and how we spend our time together. 

There are miracles around us all the time. All we have to do is open our eyes and our minds to appreciate them.
