Do you consider your parents' opinions? Do you lean on your understanding of the Bible? Etc. This does not have to be formal, organized writing. Rather, it can be sort of a brainstorm with bullet points or fragments, but I will take it up, so please take it seriously. Try to have a half a page to one page worth of material to hand in to me.
