writing

When I was researching my topic at first I didn't feel as confident as I thought I would be. I had difficulty finding information to right about. As the time went on I started finding useful information to help me carry on with my essay. I think I found personal success when I typed my last word on my final sheet. It was a relief to just be done with the essay and to stop stressing over it. I felt like I put it off for awhile and then tried to cram it in, so i'm sure that's what led to all the stress. I do think all the pre-writing activity's were useful they, helped me understand the layout of an essay better. I got familiar with transitions and how to better my thesis statements. It made my writing a little easier it and helped me better my writing skills. I think the thing I want to change is not putting my essay off to the last second.  My peer editing experience was good. It gave me some great ideas on how to make my essay better. I learned some useful information from my classmates. The feedback I got for my paper was helpful. It showed me what I needed to work on and all my mistakes. I think the strengths of my paper is my information I gathered up. It took me awhile to get it all but I think it ended up pretty well. I need to focus more on expanding on the topic at hand. Some of my ideas are short and could be expanded.
