I couldn't come up with any ideas, except for one. I'm unsure if it is sufficient enough to include in my literacy narrative. Because this experience was so long ago, I remember the dialogue very loosely. Honestly, I don't know if it even contributes to how I read and write today. It may contribute to how I currently speak, but I guess I'll have to stick with it since I have no other ideas. *sigh.
Vietnamese was my first language. It's true. People argue with me saying that I speak English so fluently that Vietnamese couldn't have been my first language. However, they don't know how challenging it was for me to transition to English as a kid. I could understand it, and speak a few words, but I couldn't pronounce most words or have a complete conversation with someone. I was not able to express what I wanted or how I felt. It was tragic. I guess my literacy narrative will be about this situation, but I will continue to be thinking of something else it can be about.
Christine, that sounds like a moving narrative. Try to think about one incident you could describe in detail. You will have to invent some details and dialogue, and that's fine.
