My writing process
I had this topic in mind from the beginning. I tried to find other ones, but they did not mean as much to me as this one did. It was not really easy to open myself and the idea that this piece would be read by others quiet disturbed me. Though, this part of my life means a lot for me. When I wrote my piece, I really felt I had enough hindsight to bring analysis to facts. This experience that I talk about in my piece has not changed me but has really made who I am. That was I think the most engaging piece I could have written. I had one of my friends reading it and I was amazed by the effect on her. It literally opened her and she started talking about herself and her own experience. She was kind of uninhibited after the reading. That was an interesting observation to make.

I had some similar feelings when I started writing my essay. I was worried that others would not be able to relate to what happened to me, but I guess that was part of our task; also this was something that was important to me. I think that as long as it was a topic that you're passionate about it will turn out for the best.
I also had very hesitant feelings about writing something so personal for others to read, but like you said, it was what I knew best. That's really amazing that your friend had such a strong reaction to your piece, I think it does prove that what you feel strongly about really resonates in your readers.
