Education narrative discussion

Education Narratives follow us from childhood bedtime stories to now college essays and will continue with most pieces of literature we’ll read. While there are many important characteristics of an educational narrative, a good foundation would include a well written out character, plot, point of view, setting, and or theme. Educational narratives are only good if you feel like you’re taken on a journey while reading, if you can visualize to a tee what the author is writing. I think for those without a broad imagination, like myself, a good narrative could start with a personal story or experience rather than writing a fictional storytelling piece. A writer’s main goal is to have their voice and personality rooted in their writing and I think education narratives are empty without this. But I do have the concern that even with a good voice, I won’t have a story TO voice. I worry that my thoughts are too bland or not up to the college standard of writing. In high school you could get away with good writing if it had proper spelling, punctuation or textual knowledge. But I feel Education Narratives imply so much more than that. It’s what tells apart a writer from a story teller. I don’t know what’s personal and what’s oversharing. I might write about my experience with a teacher and why it’s motivated me to go into the educational field. Or if that’s too bland, I figure I’d go into depth on my relationship and family dynamic but I feel that’s too personal of a piece. Education Narratives should be personal though. I’m not sure what I’ll do but I hope I don’t babble as much as I am now.
