In The Time I Get - Response

Louie Banks is an honest, forthright young man who is known for taking a stand
against social wrongs—even when it is not the popular thing to do. He fought
a battle against racism in high school, and after graduation, he is forced to
face his own brand of bigotry. When he meets Darren who he discovers is gay
and has AIDS, he avoids him out of fear of what people will think. Eventually,
Louie’s need to do what is right overcomes his fear.

Write about a time when you had to "do the right thing" even though it was difficult or not popular.
You can tell this like a story, setting up characters, plot and using dialogue (quotes).  Or, you can stick to the facts and write it like an informative essay, whatever you prefer.
