Looking Into The Past

Senior Writing Class

Last week I also took the opportunity to read some of the stories and essay's I had written in high school. I'm really glad I saved some of the things I did!

I was actually looking for one of the first stories I had ever written. It was a big writing project and we had to enter it into a contest when I was in 3rd grade. I wrote about a young girl entering into a horse show and the story was called "Horsin Around." I did not save it but I do have my 4th and 9th grade daily journal from English class. I knew cursive! I also didn't have assisted technology. I can't help but wonder if I where my cursive writing skills would be as a kid in today's world.

Apparently, I like to bike ride! 

Senior year of high school I took a year of writing explorations/senior writing seminar. I decided to look at what I had written to see if anything could be used in my blog and actually an eBook. It was really cool to read what I had written because it reminded me how necessary it is for me to write to vent, plan and reflect. What I had written about were definitely some of my strongest most influential memories. Everything ranging from friendships, special childhood memories, how I overcame my disability to and going to Europe being the experience that entered me into adulthood. I even wrote about what my life would be like 20 years from that date which was February 2019. I was pretty accurate with realizing the daily life of being a school based OT however I do not have tweens named Hunter and Nathalie. It was pretty cool to read some of these things! And yes, it did give me some juice to create an eBook! I haven't read anything I had written during journals in college yet.
