Coconino Community College

As an elder, you have gathered many experiences from a life well-lived. Leave a legacy to future generations while you make sense of your own life by writing your story. In this class, you will begin the process by responding to writing prompts which will elicit stories from different chapters of your life: childhood, early adulthood, mid-life, and older adulthood. Beginners as well as seasoned writers are welcome as we share our stories with one another. Please bring a notebook or laptop.
