Personal Narrative: Defining Myself

395 Words2 Pages

Looking over myself as a teen I would define myself as being a procrastinating slacker who never wanted to do anything. I went from an all A student in elementary to a kid who made C’s, D’s, and F’s in my first 2 and a half years in high school.

This would then erase the idea of power imbalance between students and experienced professionals who are in leadership positions. In order to gain the best learning opportunity, I learned I must be equally involved
