Having been raised in a society that is often misunderstood, misrepresented, and distorted, I tried to portray my story differently with details that I thought would add to the narrative. The freewriting helped significantly since it already provided a pathway for me to write the literacy narrative. Although I already know the details of my upbringing, writing this made me realize the things I tend to forget about my life as a child. Lastly, I do not think I have a particular sentence to quote, but realizing the importance of liking what I do (in this case reading/writing) should always come to mind.
