My Literacy Narrative Experience- A Reflection of Writing a Literacy Narrative

When writing my literacy narrative, I was really faced with a challenge. I don't recall a time before this that I've had to write my own personal story with such detail, especially with the prompt of a literacy experience. That led to me writing about this very situation. It was tough to really put so much vivid detail and ideas onto paper. I felt like there were so few aspects of my literacy growth that I remembered, and to recall something enough to write a paper on them was a pretty futile attempt. This was exhibited in the first draft of my literacy  narrative.

But my new literacy narrative showed a big difference, not only in my understanding of how to write a literacy narrative, but how my writing and my perspective on writing subjectively changed when writing in general. As I mentioned in my narrative, I never was one to write subjectively. Maybe a few poems over the course of education, but most things were very objective and research based. I was able to really take the moment when I realized how to write my narrative and put it back on paper. I felt as if the words were flowing more easily than before, and the that my narrative really described how I felt at that moment.

This experience definitely changed my writing for the future.
