Welcome!
Welcome to my very own authoenthography :)
Our literacy narrative assignment began as any other typical in depth, time consuming, and great thought writing assignment. It called for a twenty page minimum paper along with our own website reflecting our writing journey. Instantly flashbacks of dreaded all nighters took over my thoughts. Most people would be intrigued by the freedom to express themselves through their writing. Me on the other hand felt overwhelmed by the task at hand and had no clue how to begin.

I found myself clicking back and forth between both parts of my literacy narrative. The biggest struggle I found was accurately expressing the last twenty-two years of my writing journey. Once again it wasn't a matter of thinking up things to say but what specifically from my stories, images, personal reflections, returned worked, etc would truly grasp my journey. Finally after quite some time spent staring at a blank page I did what I knew best and that was just to write what I know.

To my surprise I was going about this assignment no longer as just another requirement for a class. Instead I viewed it as another entry in my journal collecting my thoughts in a much more organized manner. The literacy narrative assignment gave me an excuse to go back and reflect on past writing assignments, images I've saved, and journal entries recorded over the course of the past seven years. It was much more than an assignment at this point. It was a reflection on the person I've grown to become presenting itself through my writing.
