I took a few different things from each of the readings. I liked how Romero gave a step by step process in his piece when talking about how he was going to cut himself off from Google. However, his conclusion seemed as if he was just trying to jumble a whole bunch together and it didn't seem to flow. I have that same tendency sometimes. I'll find myself not knowing what to say and just cram whatever I can in the conclusion just to have something down. But you need a good ending. You know like the saying, "Go out with a bang!" I liked how Aboukhadiejeh started from a young age and kept a repetition going. There, I can take his process and compare it to my most important educational experience. When learning how to play the guitar, you improve on your playing and get better and better as you go. In the beginning, I was an amateur and would constantly find myself making mistakes, just like Aboukhadiejeh's website's. They needed more work and improvement. He was able to work on building stronger and better website's with the more practice he got. Works the same with me learning how to play an instrument. I can only imagine what other's thoughts were when I was first learning how to play. This is when both Romero's and Aboukhadiejeh's readings come in handy. I'm able to take what I've learned from both and apply it to my essay. I can take what I liked and didn't like and transform it in my own process of writing. To top it off, I have the two educational narrative's I can look back on. In both Malcolm X and Mike Rose's narratives, their process is about the increment of their learning which also ties back into the then and now of learning how to play the guitar. All four of the readings can be used as helpful tools when writing my educational essay.
