While writing my autoethnography i learned alot about myself that I never would have otherwise. I learned that many of my essays have to do with my memories and past experiences. To me, this means that the past is something that I never want to forget. But it also may seem like I am stuck in the past. THis I think is untrue though, because I have grown and evolved so much since coming to college, or even starting this class.
I never hated writing, but I never loved it. When I started this English 101 class, I began to like writing even more, because I didnt have to do a whole bunch of research, and what I wrote could never be “wrong.” This was because everything I wrote had to do with me and who I am as a person. Writing this autoethnography has helped me to reflect back on my papers and see how I have grown and changed during just this one semster.
This autoethnography made me realize that my writing and the things that I write about have changed drastically. I now write about things that mean alot to me, and have control over many of my emotions that I experience. I also think that my writing isnt near as dull or boring as it was in the beginning of the year. While I was writing this autoethnography, everything just flowed for me. I didn’t have to worry about writing ten pages, i just kept writing, and the words just kept coming. Hopefully it turns out in the end, the way that I would like it to.
The past is also part of me too and i will never forget it.
sooooo.. I’m in your past so you should never forget me. lol
