personal narrative

For my personal narrative assignment, I wrote about my "incomparable lake day at incomparable camp ozark". I wrote about how this experience taught me more about myself than I thought I knew, such as if I get rid of the fear and bad thoughts I can do more things than I thought. I went wake boarding for the first time and I wrote about this experience exactly as it happened, using vivid details, and trying to make the story have a clear significance other than that this was a great experience for me. I was terrified to try wake boarding for the first time. I tried not to let myself think all the bad thoughts and things that could possibly go wrong while wake boarding and instead I thought about how much fun I would have and how proud my parents would be if I told them I wake boarded for the first time. I did exactly that, and really enjoyed wake boarding.

The writing process was easy for me. As soon as I found out what we had to write about, this was the first thing that came to mind. I knew I could write a story with lots of vivid details, clear significance, and I could write this experience exactly as it happened. When people read my personal narrative, I want them to be able to read it and imagine they are actually there. I want the readers to be able to easily identify the significance and understand that this experience meant a lot to me. I liked writing this personal narrative because it was a topic that I enjoyed writing about and it made me think back on my amazing time at camp!
