First Blog Post

Out of these two Education Narratives I found Feross Aboukhadijeh’s “How I Learned to Program Computers” superior & most influential in how I could write my Education Narrative. Not only did he give great insight into how he learned to program computers but he gave valuable information on how to learn ANYTHING you set your mind to, not just programming computers, even though that’s what this passage was geared to.  Feross divulged into the very beginning of how he learned programming, gave examples of his first works, & gave specific details of what he did to learn programming. When he went on to talk about his other websites he enlightened us on the steps he took to update his first website & the reasons he built each one. I can’t think of anything of importance to his story that he could have left out. He left me with the urge to find something to learn & just do it! Maybe it could be writing essays? Or Blog posts? J

            Joshua J. Romero’s narrative was also very detail oriented & well thought through. When he talked about learning to do recover data, move emails, or whatever it was, he went into excruciating detail & articulated every step he took to figure everything out, & gave information about how much time it took. Over all he gave exceptional thought into his experiment, which is important, but it was extremely long & not terribly exciting which is not what I want to convey when I write essays.

            I learned many factors that I could put into my education narrative & in future essays. I learned that having specific details is important & it would be good for me to incorporate humor or something exciting in my essay to keep my reader interested.
