What I enjoyed most about writing a personal essay was that it didn't require any research or citing. I also enjoyed being able to express myself and the way I felt about personal events. I liked that everything was from my point of view and I didn't have to worry about something being incorrect. My other favorite part, was that people who read it enjoyed it and could relate to it in many different ways.
What I did not like about writing a personal essay was that I had to tone things down so that it could be appropriate for class. There were things that happened with my life changing expirience that I wasn't comfortable having everyone know. With that I had to try and make sense of what I could share for people to see how it was something that changed my life. I also felt kind of embarassed when we did the pair shares, because other people had gone through really bad times and had completely turned their lives around, where as mine was sort of childish.
