Reаd аnd cоnsider the writing prоmpt belоw, аnd complete the assessment by typing your response into the text box. You can write as much as you want, but aim for a minimum of one-paragraph with 6-7 sentences. Describe something you do regularly as part of your daily or weekly routine. What is this activity, and when do you typically do it? How did this become part of your routine? Why do you continue to do it? How do you feel when you can't do it for some reason? Does anyone else share this routine with you, or is it something you do alone? What would a typical day look like without this routine? Does this routine mean something special to you, or is it simply practical?
