My Narrative Project Blog
A Wizard -Of-Oz Journey This blog post focus on my narrative project. My narrative project is based on my experience during my pre-term labor, you can read part of my story in Blog Assignment #3 Composing an Emotional Scene. Which takes place in the The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University of Pennsylvania hospital weeks after giving birth to my daughter. Below are three videos that I am required to watch in my English Composition I from the beloved movie the Wizard of Oz. The purpose of me watching the videos to me understand the brain, heart and courage that my narrative project will express in my story to engage my audience. Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve Wizard of Oz: You've Always Had the Power Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard . During the time my water broke I was unsure what was happening, and fear begin to set in because I had no idea what was about to happen since my due date wasn’t until two months from the time my water broke. Once I arrived at the hospital, I knew that something was seriously wrong, and this could be the day I deliver my daughter I was not ready. I remember thinking stay out of your head and remain calm don’t panic. This is the day I became selfless they love I had for my child that I haven’t meet, yet I knew I had to do whatever it took to keep her safe and to arrival here on this earth. Writing my narrative project along with my blog 3 and blog 4 has place me on an emotional journey. I must tap into my feelings and explore the state of my heart during that time which is not easy to do and allow your vulnerable self to be open to people that you don’t know. That means you have to allow yourself to tap into your power within you see that you are more courageous than you think. You can be raw and unapologetic of your pain and your journey to begin your healing and overcome the things at one time you might have thought would have broken you, that defines your courage. It also allows me to re-examine my life events that make up my life story, and they ability to write my own narrative and not from the lens of another to tell my story the way I will like it to be told, it allows me to see me in all of my colors even the dark ones.
