Personal Narrative: My Writing Workshop Experience

My writing workshop experience as a freshman was successful, time devoting, and different. It is different from my past experiences in writing, because I had the opportunity to chose my own topic, and had most of the year to improve each of my pieces.

I have grown from this piece, in being able to successfully support a big idea in many ways with specific examples and real life situations. My final draft is well written, longer, and more
