Whew!
My oh my! This has been quite a week. I spent the beginning of the week so stressed and worried about the first essay. Yes, I know it is only a 3 page essay! I work with several young college students and to them, this was a cake walk. Well, it has been years since I have written a paper, and I would get worked up back then as well. I finally calmed myself down.
Then I printed off the outline we created on the Wiki. Thank goodness I had all of that help! Then I wrote an essay. I thought it was a very good essay…until I read the description of the critique and the requirements… Duh! I wrote an essay about how parents should be wary of the marketing strategies of businesses and how vulnerable our children really are. I was on a roll… I wrote from the heart and gave personal experiences.
After I read the critique description, I scrapped the majority of my essay and did an actual critique. It took me a considerable amount of time longer than my first and my ADV probably does not make sense, but I am done. Finally.
So, I have learned much from this experience. Aside from the obvious, I will definately get a head start on the next essay so if i do have a problem, it will not be down to the last minute to get it finished.
