Literacy Narrative Topic

I decided to write my personal literacy narrative on a specific event I experienced while volunteering at Habitat for Humanity.  While volunteering one day, I met the mother of the family's house we were building and saw how grateful she was that we all concentrated our time and efforts to help.  I am focusing my paper on Barber's idea of civic literacy and the importance of being able to understand how to work together with other people.  On that day, I witnessed several examples of the positive effects that can stem from working together to help another.  In turn, I felt a great sense of joy because I knew that I made a difference, no matter how small, in another person's life.
