Project #1: Literacy Narrative
I remember walking across the lawn from our tiny add on classroom, up the stairs, and into the second grade class. Walking to my assigned desk directly in front of the window, I sat down in front of my best friend.

I guess the thing that kept me motivated in writing though was probably just to please and fulfill my everyone’s expectations. I had a reputation of being smart because I got good grades. I got good grades because I was competitive. I probably ended up being the student I am today because I used to compete with two of my friends in my elementary classes to see who got the higher
