Personal Narrative: My Writing In Spanish

Although my household is Spanish speaking, my parents were not able to get an advanced educations so as to teach me how to properly write in Spanish. So when we began working on this project, I was incredibly self conscious and afraid that it would not be as great as my other writing. It’s incredibly obvious when I write in Spanish that my dominant tongue is English. But to my surprise, my teacher was actually very impressed in how I did on the project. It was of course not perfect, but it helped me realize that there was no reason to be so doubtful in my writing. It was a lot of fun being able to experiment with a language that I have lived with for so long. I have never written creatively in Spanish, and found it challenging but also very
eye opening. I am proud to say that I have become more confident in my Spanish and better understand my culture and background after finishing my short story.
