Reflection Essay for personal narrative...

Writing a personal narrative it just as it sounds. Writing about something “personal” or something that has happened in your personal life is what writing a personal narrative consists of. To me this assignment sounded so simple, I thought it would be no problem writing about my own life because if I know nothing, I know me. For me it didn’t go that way and as I reflect on the time spent on this essay, I understand every mistake I made. I actually typed two different essays because my first one wasn’t exactly a personal narrative or about a specific event. Though I did write about events in my life I didn’t exactly tell a story. After having a one on one with Mat about the assignment and my paper in particular I realized where I had gone wrong. When I sat down to actually think about a time that I felt special I knew the day of my high school graduation would be a great story to tell. I knew the excitement I felt on that day would only make get excited while writing. When I got to sit and type my essay it honestly brought back so many memories and feelings and I am actually glad that this was an assignment. Not only did it bring memories but focus to certain events that I rarely noticed took place that day. As I reflect on this assignment, I realize how not only did it benefit me grade wise, but it helped me appreciate that specific event more.
