Writing my education story was a reflective process that gave me the chance to explore my own growth and experiences in the field of education. “Shitty First Drafts,” an article by Anne Lamott, had a big impact on how I wrote. Accepting the idea of the “shitty first draft” freed me from the crippling fear of errors that frequently prevents my earliest writing stages. Writing became easier for me because I overcame writer’s block and self-doubt by remembering that I could edit and improve my work afterward. This method allowed my authentic voice and recollections to shine by offering me the flexibility to explore my educational story without engaging in self-censorship. I started by thinking of crucial instructional experiences to include in my story before writing in a free-flowing manner. I let myself write without inhibition, enjoying the mess of it all, as Lamott advises. I later updated and improved the narrative, turning it into a relevant and well-rounded tale that perfectly conveyed my academic path. Lamott’s advice on accepting imperfections helped me navigate the writing process and strengthened the notion that it is a lifelong journey, just like my own academic career.
