Narrative Project Preface
My past experiences with narrative writing in school are gone. I'm being honest when I say that, I don't remember any of my narrative
writing. I'm pretty sure I did some in the past but just don't remember any of it. I have gotten some experience this semester with the
blog posts we've been doing there are 4 in total which are a letter to my author self where I really connected and commit to form a
bond to my author self. Next was Writing Process Roundtable. On this I got to explore a bit and describe a scene using dialogue and
providing quotes from 3 writers. After that one came Composing an Emotional Scene with Dialogue and Symbolism which was the
most helpful for my memoir because it provided a model for me use and build off. Last was Telling Myself a Different Story:
A Memoir Counterfactual which was very reflective. It made me really think about what I could've done differently and about where
would I be in life right now if the outcome was different. Now comes my narritive project and it's about me overcoming myself in order to graduate
from high school. I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to write but I felt like this one really told a transformation especially from an acadimic
stand point. I've grown and become more focus and driven. I know who I want to be and what I want to do in life. In part it was due to my senior year
in high school, it taught me to stop being lazy and fight for your dreams because if you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you.
My emotional identity is hidden I would say. I don't share my emotions out in public I keep it inside and just bare with them. There are
times though where I don't feel anything and can't show sympathy for other people. It just doesn't come to me and I’ve accepted that,
It's apart of my personality. My parents sometimes feel I could be a little heartless with my reactions to things. I just think that it's hard for me to be
overly sympathtic to things or people that have no connection to me at all but I do wish the best for people and hope they find peace and true
happiness in their lives. I just don't feel like people need to see my emotions especially the bad ones we all have. I can write them about them and
display them there but as far as showing them I just see no reason to do that when I been baring them for years and been doing just fine in my
opinion.
