Bearing the Torch of Ambition

Write about a childhood aspiration and how you worked towards it.

We often forget the raw ambivalence with which we chased our dreams as children. Choose a goal or ambition you had as a child, and unravel how passionately you worked towards it, what setbacks you encountered, and how you turned these setbacks around. This reflection can help reconnect you with the unfettered ambition and determination of your inner child—the part of you that isn’t afraid to dream big.
