Prompt: In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt: When I first started driving, I thought going a little faster made me look confident and experienced. One afternoon, I was speeding down the road when I saw a terrible crash happen right in front of me. In that moment, the “cool” feeling disappeared, and I realized how quickly things can go wrong. I slowed down right away because I understood I wasn’t just risking my own life, but everyone else’s too. After that day, my whole perspective changed, and I decided being safe is way more important than trying to impress anyone.
