Blog #4- Justin Borrero
The first thing I thought about when I was going to begin writing for the snapshots was think broad. What has been in my life that is still in my life today. Besides family and friends the first thing to mind was football and music. I could write a lot more on football than music, so I started with that. I had to think of the first time I began playing football, but I honestly couldn't think of an exact time. I decided to write about the first time I played organized football instead, which was much easier to describe because I could almost remember that whole day. I didn't won't to write only about football, but it's such a big part in my life I had to at least mention another story. I went with something recent that was still pretty fresh in my mind which was my first game of my senior year in high school. For music, I stayed with something recent so I could get more details out of it. My other snapshots I thought of the good and bad times in my life. Which changed me and made me who I am today. The first thing I thought of was the best times I had with my grandmother and the worst. Then there are always those snapshots in life that I could write a short novel on, but would probably be to inappropriate for school. So I decided to leave those out and keep them to myself.

I like the way you wrote about your interest first and foremost. When I sat down to write my paper, I only really wrote about experiences and not interests and things I like. I suppose it just slipped my mind. That's definitely the biggest way our process differed. Seeing you write about your interests like you did makes me want to take a second look at some of my snapshots and improve upon the way they relate to what I am interested in. Maybe one way you could improve your writing is to try and write about the way football makes you feel by combining everything that you like about it and include it in a type of fictional game. Combine all of your favorite experiences from football and write them into one. That's just one idea I had when reading your post.
