Narrative Essay: Turning Point Essay (grade 9)


Life has many turning points — the events and experiences that spark a significant change. These are the moments on which human stories hinge, and many of these moments involve a sudden insight, a choice, or a decision to be made.


Turning Points are the moments where one decision changes everything. These are our daring moments. Where we teeter on the edge of fear. Where life dares us to take the leap.




It is the moment when you… 



Say yes or say no 

Act on your heart or listen to fear 

Stay or walk away 

Step up or keep hiding

Have a shift in perspective
