I woke up with a knot in my stomach, realizing that my ELA narrative portfolio was due today. I quickly clicked on the links provided to review the instructions and guidelines for the assignment. The topic choices were listed: a challenge faced by a student-athlete, how some hikers dealt with an unexpected storm, a child from a small village experiencing a large city for the first time, or how a teenager got his town or community to do something important.
I decided to write about a challenge faced by a student-athlete, as it was a topic that I could relate to personally. I began brainstorming ideas for my narrative, making sure that my story would be 100% original and in my own words. The guidelines stated that my narrative must be at least 400 words and include dialogue, so I made sure to incorporate that into my writing.
I followed the plot diagram provided in the prewriting resources to ensure that my narrative had a clear organization, starting with the exposition and ending with a resolution. I wanted my story to flow smoothly and engage the reader from beginning to end.
After carefully crafting my narrative, I formatted it in MLA style and submitted it to the Paper Review Center for feedback. I wanted to make sure that my writing was polished and ready for submission to my teacher.
As I anxiously awaited the feedback from the Paper Review Center, I made sure to have my updated narrative ready to show that I had utilized their suggestions. I was determined to make my narrative the best it could be.
Finally, the feedback came in and I eagerly read through the comments. I made the necessary revisions to my narrative, incorporating the suggestions provided by the reviewers. With a sense of relief and accomplishment, I submitted my final narrative to the dropbox, confident that I had met all of the requirements for the assignment.
As I hit submit, I felt a sense of pride in my work. I had put in the time and effort to create a compelling narrative that told the story of a student-athlete facing a challenge. I knew that my hard work would pay off, and I couldn't wait to see the final grade for my portfolio.
