The re-purposing project allowed me to take a piece of writing I had previously written and make it into something entirely new. My original piece was a journal-style entry about my experience with mental illness. I decided to stay within the topic of mental health and write a personal narrative describing my experience with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. This essay is written in the style of a HelloGiggles article--the women empowerment site I am currently in the process of sending my work to! This assignment has given me a space to finally share my mental health story with the world, as scary and intimidating that may be. I hope those who read my personal narrative will realize they are not alone in their challenges--we all have a story to share.
