This essay taught me that even though I was learning a lot from this course, there was still room for improvement. Likewise, I ended up assuming I did a great job on this essay since I wrote about a topic I enjoyed, makeup. I was proven wrong. The evaluation paper required you to evaluate and expand on the citations you had provided in your paper, something I was unfamiliar with until this lesson. I didn't do very well on this particular essay, but I had the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. Mrs. Robinson gave us a get out of jail free card when she said we could rewrite one of our first three essays and this was the essay I chose. After reviewing this essay, I really feel like I understand more about the editing process. I went back and checked every paragraph to make sure everything was perfect, changed my word choice, and repeatedly looked for grammatical errors. Because of this I now know that I need to revise the essay before handing it in as every writer does this
