Models for my Educational Narrative

           
          I would like to apologize in advance to my readers, as this is my first blog that I have ever written.  While it may turn out terrible, I am sure that this will be a good learning experience for me. Which is a perfect segway into the topic of my first post, learning.
         I have recently been assigned to write an educational narrative for my English class at Olympic College, and to be honest, I have no idea where to start. So, to help people like myself prepare, my professor has asked us to read two articles, each similar in style and format to the type of essay that I am supposed to compose. After reading those articles, I must say I definitely have a clearer view of how I am supposed to go about completing this essay, by using those two articles as Models for my Educational Narrative.
        The first article is titled "How I Learned To Program Computers" by Feross Aboukhadiejeh, and, obviously, the article is about how this web designer first learned to program computers. A method that I noticed from this article is that he started from the very first time he was exposed to computer programming and told the entire story to present day. This idea is definitely one that I will take advantage of when I write my essay to let the reader know why I learned what I learned, and hopefully it will also give me a story to fill the pages.
       The second article is titled "How I Learned to Live Google Free" by Joshua Romero. The method that Romero used is very interesting and extremely effective. He started the article by talking about his readers. This instantly connects his readers, including myself, with the story and hooked me in immediately. Of course, I will make sure to do the same when I write my own essay.
