My experience with our first essay was realizing I should trust my honest thoughts on whatever I’m reading. In the student’s essay, I saw more than a few things wrong at first but I started writing about how good it was. Then I edited what I wrote to somewhat reflect what I actually thought but I didn’t want to ridicule the work too harshly and ended up leaving out important mistakes, like how it was formatted, or not touching too much on the ones I did mention, like how all the quotes weren’t real. In the future I need to write my honest thoughts, whether they are good or bad, so my essay better answers the question/topic.

Jonathan, this is the best thing you could have realized. I don’t even have anything else to say that is more important than that.
Hello Jonathan, Thank you for sharing your experience. I often find myself second-guessing my writing, sometimes removing important points that align with my initial ideas. In my first essay, I struggled with citation and structure. I’m committed to improving these errors in my next essay and wish you success with your next one as well.
