The textbook definition of a "turning point" is: an action or an event that takes a turn for the better or for the worse, changing you physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. Every single person on earth has experienced one of these turning points... Write about something that changed your life, your perspective, maybe something that opened your eyes or made you close them, figuratively speaking of course. I'll almost guarantee that these will be emotional, inspiring stories which may inspire someone else!
