In my literacy narrative I uncover a few (of the many) fundamental parts of my childhood that shaped the way I felt about reading and writing. I also tell a few stories about how my perspective about writing shifted once I got to middle class.

The process of writing my literacy narrative was a greater task than I initially thought I would be. It was interesting to me how when I first started writing I felt like had no idea what to say, even though I was just supposed to write about my personal experience. I kind of felt that there was a possibility that my essay could be incorrect or invalid. I think this is because it has been a while since I wrote an essay in a class with a casual tone. I wasn’t very used to writing with ‘I’ or with the use of emotion or opinions, so it was a bit daunting to me at first. However, I think the starting prompts really helped me formulate my ideas because there was no pressure since I knew no one was going to see them. Overall, the starting prompts helped me get my ideas on to paper, so I was able to use them whenever I was feeling stuck on the essay. But funny enough by the time had gotten my ideas together I reached a point where I had so much more I wanted to say, but the word count wouldn’t allow it. However, I think the word count was in a good range because it forced me to only keep the parts that were the most important to me.
