Writing about my literacy narrative was hard.  I find that writing about myself can be difficult much of the time.  When I tell someone about quick overview of who I am and what to expect of me.  However, myself it is easy to simply layout a series of facts, real life events and occurrences, that provide a go deeper and discuss what makes me tick, what drives me, or what in my life has made me who I am, and it gets really difficult.  I think that is because I don’t know all the answers myself but writing this has led me to better understand some of those things.  On the diction side, I found it hard to keep the essay itself in a formal enough tone to still be easy to read and follow the ideas I was discussing, and to maintain my personality, but through a bit of revision it cleared up rather easily.  I was also, and still am frankly, not used to the first-person form of writing, it encompasses the struggles I already mentioned above, but it also presents difficulties in regard to tense and diction.  I believe that I passed much of the difficulty by working exclusively in paragraphs to tell a specific part of my narrative, and then brought them together and gave the whole work a read through, adjusting and adding transitions to make it flow in a good manner.  My intent when writing the literacy essay was to discuss, and discover, the different events and individuals that crafted the man I have become today and will continue craft my future.  While writing it I definitely saw events in my life in a new light, not as simple facts, but as highly momentous occasions, completing my personal goal as well as the assignment.
