I recently read the article "How I Learned To Program Computers" by Feross Aboukhadiejeh (http://feross.org/how-i-learned-to-program-computers/) as well as "How I Learned To Live Google-Free" by Joshua J. Romero (http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/internet/how-i-learned-to-live-google-free). These education narratives will prove to be useful when I am righting my own narrative about an important educational experience from my own life. Both articles can be used as a simple outline for my own writing to organize my thoughts and ideas. This is helpful because being able to formulate and organize my writing is often that hardest part of an essay. But more than that, they've also already got me thinking about topics to write about. Naturally, when told to write about my experience in learning something, I would think about classes I've taken - but neither of these articles are about school classes. I would never think to write something like how I learned to live without Google, but these articles have helped me think outside the box and come up with ideas other than some boring story about taking a class in school. Hopefully, having these sources at my disposal when writing this upcoming narrative will help me to succeed.
