Personal Narrative
For your writing assignment, write a personal essay, which can also be referred to as a personal narrative.
The essay that you produce must be based solely on your first-hand personal experience(s), told from the first-person point of view, and meet the given length requirement of 750 to 2,500 words.
In short, this will be an essay about you.
The essay that you write should tell a story that represents who you are to your audience—that is, people who don’t know you personally.
Instead of relying on research to construct your essay, rely on your own memory and awareness of people and surroundings. This will ensure that your writing is credible, ethical, and authentic.A personal narrative is an essay about the author.
In a very basic sense, all essays are personal, in that it’s impossible to avoid a personal opinion, even in the most objective (that is, impersonal and fact-based) writing.
