I can’t remember the last time I wrote a memoir other before this semester. Based on what we have done this semester I’ve found them to be difficult but enjoyable at the same time. It’s nice to recount positive memories and remember fun things from the past but it’s easy to get caught up in what I’m writing about. When writing about negative memories I often have to stop writing because I don’t want to really talk about it but then again talking about things can help you feel better so it makes me feel conflicted. Sometimes the task for a memoir is a little difficult and I can’t relate to it which leaves me feeling stuck. Overall I would say that I have had a positive experience with memoir writing because I’m able to share a little bit about myself through it and it allows others to get to know me a little better and what my life is like.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
