I was reading through my old junior high Language Arts notes when I came across the rubric for my first ever narrative. I remembered posting the story on a site called Storybird because our LA teacher told us to. I found it, and /sigh...... I sent my friends the link and we all laughed about it, while I cackled hysterically and abused my face with slaps. 

Comparing then to now, I think my writing still needs A LOT of work. But with such good stories on this site (if you're willing to sacrifice your time to dig through the crappy ones), I feel discouraged.
