Pre-AP English I: Timed Writing (Destiny)

Read the information below.
“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

― William Jennings Bryan

Although many people believe that their destinies will just happen to them by fate, other people believe that their destiny will only happen if they work at it. Think carefully about this statement.

Write an essay explaining whether people should take what life gives them as their destiny or work toward their dreams.

Be sure to
  • clearly state your thesis
  • organize and develop your ideas effectively
  • choose your words carefully
  • edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling
Time limit: 25 minutes.
