1. Writing a play was neither fun nor easy. The process of formatting was both challenging and frustrating. It was tough coming up with a good plot, characters with personality, and flat out writing it in general. I don't think I'll ever be too interested in writing plays unless I'd be getting payed a shit-ton of money... money I can use so I can retire early and go paddling for the rest of my life. The form confused me and seems ridiculous.
2. I'm still nor sure exactally what a personal essay is because I didn't listen much. Whatever the case I'm going to write about paddling or backpacking because it's what I like to do. It's nice because i can relate the wilderness to absolutely anything and gives me a broad topic. I'm sure in my personal essay I will take the story strraight out of real life and make it work. Any story from trail would work. Stories from paddling through the BWCA would work. Stories from the Quetico would work. Stories from Jellystone would work. Stories from virtually any trip ever would work just fine.
3. If i had to give advice to any kid growing up today I'd tell them to do what they do. Kids need to learn how to grow up in their own way. Advice can really screw them over because who am I to teach them how to be? They're not me. I wouldn't want to mess with what they have going for themselves whether it be science camp or play-doh. Growing up today is no different than growing up 100 years ago. There are different challenges and things to deal with, but challenges none the less. Kids will be kids and I'm not one to intervene with that.
4. I didn't find anything of what they had to say interesting. the sound on my machine didn't work. TADA!

i agree with you that advice can screw people up. simply let people live their lives and figure things out for themselves, because you never know that the specific situation is and who are you to tell them what to do? good point.
yea i agree plays weren't exciting it was too much to think about while writing it. it messed up my creative thought well not really but slowed me down a bit
