peresonal narrative

    Life itself is full of so many possibilities. It is important to let go of negative memories from the past so that we may have more space to remember future experiences. I am more than sure everyone has memorable experiences they have from the past, including myself, but to choose one out of all experiences/memories is a difficult task. This may be a cliché memory but I am only 15 years old and it was the first to pop in my mind.
    When I was younger I wasn't the 'girliest', nor did I want to be, I was brought up with sports. At a very young age use to take my sister and I to baseball games,at times my family and I would go to the park to play some basketball, or just go to batting cages for fun. My parents always encouraged us to be as active as possible as kids. When I was about five years old or so my mother wanted me to try swimming. my first thought was, " WHY?!" but then I thought about it and agreed...somewhat. My mother took my sister and I to the indoor pool at YMCA. We got our membership and met our instructor. Everything became too real, I was either going to drown and die or learn how to swim. I was really nervous that day,I think I had started to cry, I was not ready.
      Reality finally kicked in, I had to get in the pool.

reflections

My portfolio is filled with so many different assignments, although they're all different they all have a similar tone. Since the first writing assignment of last semester I would say I have improved in a sense I would say. I have become a little more comfortable with creative writing and now it's not as stiff, the words flow. My work has varied I have some assignments that are great and there are some that weren't the best. I guess my most favorite works has to be one the most recent assignments I did.
