response on my narrative

As I wrote my narrative, I realized how emotional I was about my life.  I enjoyed writing it, and it meant a lot to me to be able to reflect on my past.  My past has made me what I am today, and I take pride in knowing that I came from a very hard life, and am going to break the cycle of the unknown. I take pride in my children, and in the fact that my grandmother's influence has made me determined to teach my children.  I really mean it, if it weren't for my grandmother, I dont know where my children would be today, for that matter, I don't know where I would be today.  I feel very blessed to say that I have her as a mentor so to speak.  I believe I elaborated on my experience and showed how much my grandmother means to me.  I do feel though, that I could have described my feelings while my grandmother read to me, I didnt think about that until now, but feel like it would have made more sense if I would have connected my feelings as she read to me to the feelings of me wanting to change.   But over all, I feel like I met the assignment and that my voice and passion came through in my narrative.

  3. Thank you to the both of you! Briana, I never thought of it as them being proud of me, I'm always just the one proud of them :) I guess though that you could say they have me to lean on and I have them to lean on...I wish the both of you the best of luck as well, glad that we have all chosen a positive path for our lives!
