On the second day of the Summer Institute, David put two writing prompts up. One asked us to describe our best/worst learning experience and the other one read, “Which do you like better Pepsi or Coke and why?"




Here’s what I wrote:



Coke is it! Fizz, burn, bubble. The sweetness hits my tongue. It stings, but I don’t stop gulping. Don’t give me Pepsi. Too light. Too sweet. I need a hard drink that makes my eyes water and my throat tighten.



Nothing fancy, but I was trying to get in touch with my senses. I have a hard time being descriptive, so I’m trying to learn how.
