Peer Sharing Reflection

Peer sharing was definitely a positive experience for me. I helped me to see where and how I could improve my writing. Also, reading other people's writing opened me up to new ways that I could express what happens in my memoir. All the feedback I received was helpful. The questions people asked helped me to include more detail in my second draft. I tried to include more visionary detail to help my peer readers almost feel like they were in the scene with me.

Memoir Attempt

My first attempt at a memoir was harder than I thought it would be. There is nothing in my life that is memoir worthy or important enough to actually write about. I never really had any emotional turning points and I think I'm still to young to actually have something extremely life changing happen to me. Going to college eleven hours away from home may seem like a big deal, but it never was to me. I never got homesick which a lot of my friends think is weird. I kind of just decided that I wanted to live and North Carolina and made it happen. My graduation day was emotional and maybe life changing, but I still feel the same. I really don't think anything affected me yet. I have not found my story yet, but I hope I will soon.
