Read More Room by Judith Ortiz Cofer and answer the following question. Then “submit” your work.
Cofer suggests that by getting her own room, her grandmother dramatically improved her life: she achieved “the kind of joy that can only be achieved by living according to the dictates of one’s own heart” (paragraph 11). Write about something (such as a fulfilled request, an event, a new relationship, or a stroke of luck) that dramatically changed your life for the better. How, specifically, did your life change? Why has this change been so important or meaningful to you?
