Autoethnography Reflection

First thing that comes to mind was stress. I could not think of how to organize my paper and have it be very informative. I ended up writing more of a reflection of the course and how it has helped me become a better student and how i feel as if my grade doesnt correspond to what i hhave truly learned. I Found it hard to quote myself in my writing. The reason is that in all of my papers i am very informative and not really myself. The only way i can seee myself in my writing is if i write a narrative. i feel like i can really let loose and explain things from my point of view. that leads me to another problem i had. I tend to try to ove analize thinsg in my autoethnography. I cant really explain who i am in my terms by my writing. my writing does not fully explain who i am as a person but who i am as a writer. like i have two identities. I found this project harder than the rest because it is writing about who i am through my writing style when i am going through a particularly hard time in my life. I can honestly say that i dont know who i am right now and that my writing isnt helping me at all. I can also say that by explaining how i feel about this project is almost like doing the project over again. I always feel like im not doing something write, im not following the guidelines of an aassignment, yet i truly am trying as a student and working hard. thats one of the reasons it makes me feel like i may not pass this class, just for the fact that i dont feel like im doing as well as on a grade standpoint as i am from a working standpoint.
