I would definitely say I have grown as a creative writer. I have never taken a course like this. This class taught me how to think outside the box. It was fun taking scenarios from my life and turning it, into truly creative stories. Most of my pieces of writing were about a memorable moment in my past life so it was fun to reminisce about my childhood and collaborate with my family to help me write my pieces. The pieces that I wrote are really different from my writings because I'm used to writing academic papers. The papers I right are not personal or based on me. It's more about researching entering the information you found into your own words. The only thing I found challenging was making my pieces more descriptive. It was hard to really try to paint a visual image for the readers. I was great at creating good dialogue. My favorite piece I read was "Angela's ashes" by Frank Mc court. It was very interesting and I love reading about the family and the struggles they were going through. It was real life and it showed that it could be relatable to others.
This a snippet from my "Memoir piece"
"As I walked toward with the principal to get my diploma, there was a lot of clapping going on and all my classmates and friends were screaming my name. One particular voice stood out for me though. As I got to the middle of the stage I heard, "You did M&m". I looked out to where my parents were sitting and I saw my brother right beside them. I started crying out of happiness at the sight of him, and finally realizing that today I really had accomplished a big goal by graduating. I don't know how he did it I was just so glad he made it. He has yet to let me down. We are still close now and I hope it stays like this forever."
