I am proud of the essay that I submitted, because it paid off to take the risk of a very bold stance. Usually, I would’ve tried to be more positive in my review of the student essay; however, I took the chance to be critical and very outward with the mistakes I noticed. When I saw that the quotes used in the sample essay weren’t actually in the secondary source, I kept questioning myself if I had been mistaken. I ended up taking the gamble and making a statement about the quotes being incorrect, and it helped my essay in the end. Something I learned to improve on was to use quotations when referring to one word, rather than apostrophes. The main takeaway I got from the experience was that I should keep taking more risks with my writing. For every future writing assignment, I also know now how important it is to hit every single point from the rules\/guidelines in my essay. Most importantly, I learned how to make a strong statement with specific research to back it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
