Additionally, I could have added more detail in the final paragraphs about how I became the child in class to raise their hand to read a text, rather than hide like it did for years. When we were assigned to write a literary narrative a lot of memories,

    Throughout the year in Honors Freshmen Literature Composition, I have grown as a writer through fine tuning my strengths, acknowledging my weaknesses, and assessing my growth as a writer. I have improved my use of sensory detail, vocabulary, and word choice and set reading and writing goals for next year. My most prominent writing strength that I have improved during this year is my use of sensory detail.

    Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…

    Another hot summer in Idaho at another family reunion. I chased after my dad and brother’s cloud of dust; reving my ATV’s (all terrain vehicle) engine I whipped around the land my great great uncle homesteaded on. My confidence grew as did my speed until my wheel caught and spun me right into a log that pierced through the fender and into my leg. It was the first time I ever blacked out. When I came too a few seconds later I was alone; high on the trails of the Sawtooth mountains, blood gushing from my shin.…

    I was 23 before I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. As far back as Elementary school I knew that there was something “off” in the way that I processed information. That my ability to do well academically was somehow hindered by not having certain tools that I needed, tools I wasn’t even aware existed. In high school, I began to augment my deficits with strengths. Where my grades were lacking I made up for it through creativity; I excelled at art and photography.…
