Reflection of Draft of Literary Narrative

When writing about how I gained the skill of writing to become like some sort of author, I began to feel more accomplished with what I have done in order to get to where I am today. It gave me a better perspective on how I have grown from a child who was put into Special Ed to being an engineering student in City College. Don't get me wrong, I haven't become the smartest man in the world, far from that. But, I did see how much I've matured as a person, and not just a writer. When writing the first draft, I couldn't find that much to write about, so I began by free writing most of the experiences I had about writing, but later on I realized that I found out how to form this story. Thanks to both of the free writes, I got a better understanding on what to write about and how to form that story.

The learning objectives I've met were mainly about exploring and analyzing the varieties of genres and rhetorical situations, developing strategies for drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing. These have helped me to make a more relatable story that might help out those who read it to continue writing even with the internal situations that they are facing. This has helped me to create a more straight forward story that doesn't take forever to get to the point, and try to keep the story alive throughout each sentence. Throughout this writing I gained a more faster way of noticing what is wrong with the pacing of the writing, the grammatical issues, and the way the sentences are formed. To me, each sentence has to add on to what the story is trying to say.
