Example Story Format (For Guidance)

“I rented a room without a contract because I was scared to ask.

After two months, the landlord asked me to leave with one week’s notice.

I learned that contracts protect students, not landlords.

I wish someone had told me this earlier.”

Simple. Honest. Powerful.
