An anecdote is a a story about someone... usually interesting, unique, or funny... not boring everyday stuff. So, writing a personal response involving an anecdote would be where you respond to whatever question it is, using a unique story about your life. For instance... when people start talking about embarrassing moments, I remember my high school swimming and diving class. One of my friends in the class worked at Casa Bonita (a famous restaurant in Denver, noted for its indoor cliff divers and children's activities) as a cliff diver. Some of us were scared of going off the high dive, so out teacher thought that having this guy demonstrate his cliff diving skills for the class would be beneficial. We all gathered around the side of the pool to watch him. He climbed up the ladder, and did the most perfect, beautiful dive I have ever seen... he was slim and beautiful, and when he entered the water, there was hardly a splash, he was so smooth. We all stood in awe... especially when we saw his shorts floating on the top of the water. He came up from the bottom of the pool grinning, knowing that his dive had been perfect, and expecting the applause that we usually gave excellent dives. ... We kind of just stared. Then he saw his shorts. He grabbed them, and dived back down to the bottom of the pool to put them on. This time, when he came up, we did applaud... although I don't think he wanted to be the center of attention anymore. ... anyway, that is a story from my life, responding to the idea of embarrassment. Try something similar for whatever you need to respond to... think of something in your life that epitomizes the idea that you are trying to get across, and tell a short story about it.
