-The specific event/instance I want to narrate is when I found out this fall that my 24 year old high school hockey coach, Jeremey Bigelow, had been in a car accident, and later found out that he was paralyzed from the chest down. I am going to start the narrative at one of our hockey practices and show how what he was teaching to us that day is helping him in his fight today.
-This exigence matters to me right now because as I type this my coach is working hard in a rehabilitation clinic in Ohio to try to regain something that even resembles a "normal" life. He is learning how to use a puff/blow device to communicate better and enhance his overall life style, and I know my message will mean a lot to him.
-My purpose is to show Jeremey how much support he has, and maybe even inspire him to continue his fight. I wear my "Team Bigelow" bracelet to support him and his family financially as he deals with this paralysis, but I hope my narrative will give him a different, unique, and real type of support.
-The audience I want to reach through this narrative is first and foremost coach Bigelow. However, I also want to reach out to everyone in the Dublin High School Hockey family who had the pleasure of knowing coach, and show them how special this man was, and still is.

Great. It might be really effective to use a similar technique to that second PS essay--starting with the injury and then heading back and showing how great of a person he is then going forward to him struggling with his new limitations. Approved.
