I feel good about my topic choice for the personal narrative, especially because the event I’m writing about occurred quite recently. Instead of writing about the time I was cut from the volleyball team, I decided to write about a season when I wasn’t on the team I wanted to be on, but it ended up being one of the best seasons. I am not having any reservations, but I am having a little trouble about organizing. It has been a little difficult to balance everything I want to include. Currently, I have a lot of background information, but I want to include more about my growth.

That sounds like an excellent topic to show your growth. I don’t know a lot about volleyball, but I know it has its own unique set of difficulties. I had the same issue regarding the amount of context I wanted to give, but I decided to hone in on a specific encounter. Although it is a first draft, I think that memory will set up the reflection better.

I think your topic is very interesting and is a nice twist on the “cut from the team” trope. I wonder what made that year so good and look forward to hearing about it later. I am also having difficulties organizing my essay because there’s so I much to talk about and so little space to do it.

I like the topic you chose! I think you can turn it into a great essay showing what you learned from that experience. I also said that organization/flow was something I am working on because I want to be able to tie my story and reflection together, and my story is kind of long.
