I have read this before in English 1101, at first I believed it to be funny and laughed about it. As the semester progressed, I took more advice from this paper considering I didn’t know of a greater example at the time. It helped for a while because I have always been critical of how I write. I always wanted to write the best paper the first time around. Eventually I learned about how I wrote and what I could to improve.

As a result, I can hear the flaws so I start my correcting process again, but this time I know where I genuinely need to make changes to advance.
