1. Narrative writing made me write in the first person perspective which made it easier for me to write and made the paper more like a conversation.
2. What are relevant and necessary ideas depends on the person, but reading and editing and then re-editing can help you find unnecessary thoughts or ideas.
3. By filling most of the paper with an interesting story, and then revealing a deep thought at the end helped me create a unique piece of writing and meet the expectations of a narrative essay.
4. For getting the audience interested in my essay, I tried to pick an unique topic that nobody has ever done before, and tried to add a bit of humor which was the hardest part.
5. My personal experience was a very hard and tough time for me, but interestingly I forgot about the pain and my pride remains of this experience. And I think in this story I tell everything with confidence and pride in what I have accomplished.
6. Because I am composed of three cultures: Korea, America, and Chinese. Losing my two years experience as a Chinese kid would be like losing one third of me.
