When we were introduced to the project several seniors shared their story's from last year setting the standard for what our narrative need to look like. The first task we were given was to come up with three different ideas for our stores and share them with Ms. Hood-Ezparza. After that we need to choose one of our ideas and write up a first draft. I wrote about how I fainted several times and then had a seizure. I enjoyed writing down my experiences, feels and thoughts on paper. It was like sharing something you didn't know you were still holding in and letting it go as I wrote was empowering. My first draft was a few stores about when and how I fainted so it was incomplete.
When I wrote my second draft I had the opportunity to have an author read and critique my writing. Draft three was when I final felt it was complected but it still needed refinement so it went through a few others hands. Later we got a class where we were taught how the turn the story into a speech. Now with my fourth draft in hand it went thought a second group critique. On the day of exhibition I practiced my speech with the rest of that nights group and as soon as I finished I was already making corrections in my mind. In the few hour I had left until I would present to a live audience I changed things up moving sentences, I add at list a little paragraph.
