Story Telling

The most recent assignment in class was to write an essay that described how a piece or literature had made an impact on our life. It could be something we wrote, read or even something a little more abstract. This was the first assignment like this I have had to do in college and as far as I can remember ever. It didn’t feel like a normal assignment because I had the ability to form it however I wanted. The paper was on my terms, not just answering questions and ending with the same story as everyone else. I really enjoyed writing this essay. I found myself sitting and reflecting on all the lost memories that reappeared. I remembered teachers than I hadn’t thought about in years. Also, I wanted the reader to be able to connect with my paper the way I intended them to. I wanted them to feel the passion I felt. I think it was a great experience to be able to mold and form a story that no one else had heard. I felt like an author who had thousands of fans waiting for his new novel. It was a childish feeling but I truly did enjoy it. It made me think about what it would be like to tell the world a story and have them intently listening. I really enjoyed this story and hopefully I will be able to tell the world a story I want them to hear someday.
