Reflection...
I originally wrote this piece as my first narrative essay for my English Comp I class with Dr. Moore. This was a very personal piece to me since it pretty much laid my life out on the table for all of my classmates to see. As I began to write it, I found myself wanting to hold back and not really tell the "whole truth". People tend to frown when you tell them you are divorced. I realized that if every writer had held back then we would have been denied so many great pieces of literature. Accepting this
made me write it exactly how it happened. If it offended my readers, they were free to close my piece and move on to the next. I was very thankful that Dr. Moore chose this as our first essay assignment because I know that it set the bar for me and that it taught me to not be afraid of what the readers may think, if you are writing it from the heart, then it is never wrong.
