What did I learn in general?

• Through this process i was able to take a step back from my own paper and focus on giving feedback to someone else. The break was kind of refreshing. By editing and looking over someone else’s paper i was able to evaluate where i stood on my own paper. i was not only giving suggestions and correction ideas to a classmate but i was improving my paper as well, thinking of things that i could change based on what i was reading infront  of me.

What did i learn from my research project specifically?

• Kyle was able to help me a lot. He pointed out a couple of strong quotes that really got the point of what i was trying to say across. He also gave me confidence to keep going. By showing enthusiasm in my topic he’s really helped me to find the motivation to drive on. On specific comment that he made was he wanted to see more of “me” in the introduction. After looking back at the intro section of my paper i realized he was right. Marlen told me there was no way that this research paper could be too personal if i was writing about my own experience. He was right. =)
