Personal Writing and All About Me

Personal Writing & All About Me

Wow! I never realized how much writing I do on a daily basis, even though I do not like to write I know it’s something I must do and learn to love since I will be doing it forever, and I must remember that writing is a process like Dr. Harris stressed. What type of personal writing do I always do? Email and To Do List: Well I think I would be lost without my “To Do List”. This list keeps me organized and sane. This list is especially helpful when it comes to my school work, my kids, and it helps me keep my household running smoothly. The other is of course is email. Though, sometimes I need to hear my friend’s voice email is quick and easy, and I can usually get straight to the point. Other personal writing I do is grocery list, journal writing, and school work of course.

The All About Me Activity:

I really enjoyed this activity. I will definitely use this activity with my students. You can have students write about themselves, about their favorite character in a book, their hero, or about an important person in their life. Well my all about me book was about me being a MOM. I did not get to finish it, but this was the first thing that came to mind. My children are my world, and currently they consume it along with school. But no complains I am happy God has given me the strength, and the opportunity to go to school full time, care for my family, and direct my path to a life fulfilling career: EDUCATION

Who am I?
I am sweet as Jam
I am caring and lovely
Who is also nurturing
And giving
I am patient
And wanting
The best for you
Who am I?
MOM

  1. hi Lorena I agree with you, I need a to do list, and definitely a grocery list, of course we always do more than the list or buy more than we had in the list. It definitely helps to know what you have to do and to also reflect on it by the end of the day because it is a reminder that we are good moms. Sometimes I feel like I can not function if I do not write things down. I also love your poem!!!
    Good job I admire your positiveness!
    You are an inspiration!

  2. Lorena, good job on your poem, short, sweet and to the point. On the other hand, there are not enough words to describe being a mother.

  3. I can soooo relate with you. Funny I mentioned to my home group that I wasn't sure what to do my activity on because I was trying to define myself as someone other than mom and had a difficult time with it. I enjoy reading but only read children books with my kids, I love to shop but don't really have time to do so alone where I can really enjoy. I would've loved to have had something more appealing and exciting but I am simply mom. No complaints, I am thankful to God for the many blessings in my life.
