A transformation?

I do not like writing narrative essays or anything were I am required to use "I" or even put my own opinion in the paper. I would rather just present the facts to the reader and allow them to form their own opinions. So when we began the discovery narrative project, I choose that I felt pretty comfortable with. This way I could add a few of my own experiences and it could pass as a narrative essay. But as I talked with my group on Wednesday in class, they caught me in my lie. They saw right through what I was trying to. So afterwards, I truly sat down to revise and continue my essay. But this way, I would actually write a true narrative. My group told me to expose my true feelings on the topic, and to not hide behind the facts. I continued with the same general topic, but in a very different direction than what was on my outline. I took some time to take myself to the time, to truly remember how I had felt and what I had actually learned through the experience. And although I am still writing about the same general topic, I now feel much more personally connected to the assignment because I am writing about what I truly felt during the experience. Not just the facts that occurred.
