Life-Choice Memoir
I am providing an introduction to my life-choice memoir and links to the relevant blog posts that have served as part of my writing process.
To start off, determining my life-choice was a hard one. I felt like I had no significant moments to write about. Or at least none that would be enough to write about for the assignment at hand. I consulted with my mother about what life-choice she had thought I had made that impacted my life. Together, we could only think of one choice that not only impacted my life, but everyone's around me too. The results of my choice were life changing, and I knew I had to write about it.
I had looked back onto a previous life-choice that I had made in my blog post, "Life-choice: To tell the truth?". In my memoir, I wrote about the difficult truth discussed in the blog, as well as some other burdensome choices that I had to make that resulted from it.
Writing this paper wasn't the easiest. It brought me back to a hard time in my life, and made me relive it. Yet, I chose this specific life choice as I felt I would connect the most to it, and be able to write about it well. The more emotion, the better the paper, in my opinion. To me, the paper was well written, and barely had any flaws, but I knew it could still be revised.
I had a conference with my English professor, Sabatino, and he told me about some minor changes that I could make. I believe they were good choices, and I plan to revise the paper to my best ability with his thoughts.
With writing my second draft, I knew the changes that I wanted to make. I wanted the relationship of me and my mom to come through a little bit better, and I wanted to depict why the choice was so hard to make. I was planning to make the other choice shorter, but I figured after that it was just enough, and I left it as is.
