When I first heard about the narrative assignment I was not super excited. It sounded like I had to write a story, and I am not a very big fan of writing stories. At first, I struggled to think of a story that I could share. A friend suggested the story about soccer and trying new things, and I took it, somewhat out of desperation for something to write on. But once I started writing the paper and remembering what actually had happened, the paper was easy to write. Now, I'm so grateful that someone made me take the time to sit down and write this experience out. Not only will I know have this experience and the lessons I learned to go back to, but I will have the memories. Although I have kept a journal in the past, and write in it occasionally, writing this paper makes me realize I really should be better about writing things down so I don't forget the details.
I also learned more about creating scenes in my writing in order to help the reader feel like they are actually there in the moment. This was something that I needed to work on in my writing. Because of this paper I feel like I have come to better understand how to write in this specific genre.
