I am compelled to write a big thank you to you all for being such an amazing audience last night. I haven't shared my personal writing in a long time, and I told myself that I need to be brave and just read it. I didn't think I would get so emotional, and I appreciate you all being the respectful audience one dreams of in a class. The notes you wrote me are so thoughtful and positive- I feel like I received a bundle of little hugs!
I really enjoyed this class, and definitely want to use this exercise in my classroom. I feel like we were a unit, a team. It was incredible to hear everyone's pieces, to be taken into the world of each classmate's mind. More so than the blogs, this was a chance for us to get to know a real part of each other.
I look forward to next week and getting to hear more!

Thank you for sharing your memoir last night. It does take a lot of courage to share something personal with the class, but it's wonderful you chose to do so. I also enjoyed listening to people's memoirs, and it was lovely to see us come together.
I definitely agree with you about this assignment. I'm so glad that Bonnie decided to continue it for the semester. My one-pager is coming up this week, and reading in class and seeing everyone's notes gave me so much confidence for it!
I think you did a good job volunteering to read. I'm totally scared for my memoir. Writing is so personal, it is hard to let it be exposed to others who don't love it as much as we do.
