Personal Narrative: Creating My Portfolio

Creating this portfolio has been a blast. Although, there were certain parts to the portfolio that did not play to my strengths. For example, the very first piece you asked to be written was very challenging for me. It took me many rough drafts to be able to indirectly characterize a psychological trait of a character. My first couple of drafts for this piece were describing different traits of the character. I was easily frustrated with the end results of all the pieces, so I scrapped the idea of physical trait and shifted my focus to a physiological trait. It was also challenging for me to describe my first trip to Disney World as negative experience, especially since that trip was the first thing I vividly remember and having an amazing

time.
Even though there were certain parts to my portfolio that did not play to mu strengths, there were certain parts that did. Being able to create an entire story solely based off of peanut butter and jelly came very easily to me. I felt that it was a fun challenge, rather than an assignment for the project. It was also very easy for me to recall my first experience in Disney World with my family. Being able to envision the amusement park was an easy task for me. Even though this project did present its challenges, I hope you have a lite time reading all of my pieces.
