The 5 characteristics: How will they apply to my narrative?

I have three personal experiences that reflect how I became inspired to learn more about literature and have exposed me to opportunities that without I would not be as well- rounded person as I am today.

My narrative topic is about when I learned to write cursive in the third grade. Ms. Martin was my favorite teacher in elementary school, so it was easy to want to learn things from her. When my class began learning cursive, most students struggled a lot. My mother had already been teaching me bits and pieces of cursive since the first grade so I was ahead of the game. Once we had learned all the basics in class, we discussed how writing in cursive was a very formal version of the English language. Knowing when and how to use cursive incited me to look for any opportunity to show off my new skill. This made me want to start writing my own narratives in cursive just for fun.  I could elaborate on the details of when and where by describing the school and how elegantly me and my teacher worked together. For vivid detail, I will describe how each time the lead hit the paper, my hand was trained to not let it leave the paper until the world had been finished being written. My point of view for this narrative will be in first person, as it describes my internal thoughts and emotions, and this story matters because it is one of many important milestones in my English career.
