Essay on Personal Narrative- My Love of

Reading and Writing

Personal Narrative- My Love of Reading and Writing Reading and writing has always played a
vital part in my life. From toddler to adult, pre-elementary to college, I’ve managed to sharpen
both skills to my liking. However, even though it significantly helped, schooling was not what
influenced me to continue developing those skills into talent. Many different things shaped and
influenced my learning, and now reading and writing have become the safety net of my life. I
know that even if I have nothing else in the future, I’ll still have my talent and knowledge. To
ensure my success, I hope to further develop those skills so that I may fulfill my wishes. I was
always a creative child; it was something I just…show more content…
Reading was the new outlet for my imagination and the stories I read fascinated me. They weren’t
too unlike the scripts of computer games or the own stories I came up with on my own, but books
actually had the action and emotional aspects written out. And again, while my peers were reading
things about growing up, things that had morals and would teach valuable lessons (I remember one
book about a shoplifter who had to do community service at an animal shelter), I read real fiction:
Jurassic Park, Dragonriders of Pern, Lord of the Rings… Stuff of fantasy and science-fiction that
let my mind stray from reality. Stuff that kept my imagination alive while I was being forced to
learn multiplication and the names of countries. Of course, my teachers encouraged me to keep
reading, as long as I wasn’t doing the reading in the middle of their lectures. But it wasn’t because
of their influence, however, that kept me interested in books. It was because I loved it. It put
pictures into my head and made me think. So I kept reading. But even then I knew reading wasn’t
enough… Yes, the stories were fascinating, but they weren’t what I wanted. Back then I wasn’t
sure what I wanted, but as middle school came to a close, I found it. All eighth graders had to take
a career class to determine what we wanted to be when we grew up. I remember telling my teacher
that I wanted to be an archaeologist and the strange look she

varieties of literacy and different ways the author or narrator discovered them. From Knoblauch to
Rose, the ideas of what literacy is and how different literacies can shape an individual’s writing
were uncovered. All the text we were assigned can be split into two different groups: scholarly
articles and personal narrative. The whole class was thrown for a curve ball when we were
assigned Knoblauch for our first assignment. After rereading the material a few times, I began to

During the semester, the class was assigned writing tasks that were intended to showcase our
strengths and weaknesses in our writing. We were forced to think outside the box and expand on
ideas in our readings. In the beginning of the semester, I was not certain what to except from this
course. Writing has never been my strong suit, early in the semester I struggled with the writings.

I’ve always loved writing, probably because it’s the only art I’ve ever felt like I’m good at. As a
child, I would create written stories, which led to a teenage ambition of writing a full novel. As an
adult, I still hold this ambition, although it has evolved into more than just writing a fictional book.
I’m full of ideas that I log onto a list of writing ideas, some of which I’ve attempted, including two
children’s stories, a musical play, and a non-fiction work in the field I’m working towards

My Personal Experience With Literacy

Literacy is defined as being literate, that is, being able to read and write in a language. My personal
experience with literacy began at an early age, at the age of 4 when I began to sit and read words
and letters in the back of my mother’s car. Soon enough, she would bring me a magazine called
“Majed” which, in the 90’s, was a popular magazine. With this, I began even more interested in
reading and writing and reviewed every word in the magazine associated with each of the short
pictured stories

Personal Literacy Narrative As a teenager, I now look back and realize how vital it is for children
to learn to read and write at such young ages. I am so thankful for parents that read books with me
before I even started school, and I am also thankful for the teachers who taught me vowel sounds,
prefixes, suffixes, and much more. Teachers also taught me that reading could be fun, which
encouraged students to want to read in their free time. Reading and writing are unique activities to
me because

freshman, I did not look forward to English 1101 because I thought it would take away my
creativity. My biggest fear was that there would be limits to the amount of individuality that I
would be allowed to let surface in my writing. Imagine being inside of a box. Your thoughts are
refined and you hope for at least one tiny hole to be punched into that box. You want to bring a
