My Topics for My Literacy Narrative

One topic which I would like to write about is how I have struggled with subjects like writing and reading.  Even though, in high school I was able to get by writing something like what Anne Lamott calls "Shitty first drafts". I feel like my struggles with these subjects have held me back from doing better. For example, like getting into English 101 my first semester or doing better on the ACT writing portion.

• The pros for writing this narrative would be to tell how I struggled and I am getting better at understanding these subjects little by little. I feel like I am not the only person who struggles with theses subjects, and I would be able to relate with others. The cons about this topic is that I believe many people may talk about their struggles with writing and/or reading and I would like to make it something very different from other narratives.

I would also like to write about my high school experience. I think that my high school experiences had huge impact in my life and shaped who I am today. While I was in high school I was involved in many after school activities.

• Some pros for writing this narrative are that I would have so much to talk about. I would describe many activities I participated in. For example, how my friend and I created our school's swim team. I would also talk about how I became the president in our school's National Honors Society. Cons for writing this would be that there are so many things to write about that I don't think I will be able get all the details. 

Last but not least, I would like to write about the time I thought I was going to loose my dad forever. My dad had a heart attack, and it was a very difficult time in my life where I was clueless because I didn't know how to help him. I wish I could've given him my heart so that he would not deal with any illnesses. I think that this topic would give my audience an understanding on the things that has shaped a part of me. 

• The pros about writing this narrative is that it would be very descriptive and it is a very important part of my life that has impacted my life. I think it would tell my audience to value their parents because some of us may have them and do not value the fact that they have their parents, while others do not.
