Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

 Writing Prompt: Growing up, it was mandatory, according to my mom, to serve in our church. There were many options I could have done so, but my mom thought dancing was for me. There were moments where I did like it, but that didn't feel enough for me. I served in the dance ministry for 9 years of my life.
