I’m creating a step by step instructional on how to create a group home in the state of Georgia. I described how I was passionate and driven to do it because of how much of a passion I have for social work.  I also went over a brief run over my past. 

 

I’d like to think that I’m rather well-spoken so I thing my general writing skills are a strength of the essay. I was able to put it what I thought was all the information that I needed and communicate it, for the most part, and a cohesive way. After getting back my peer review and reading over again myself I can’t help but read it as a bit rushed. One of my many weaknesses is the fact that I can never quite figure out how to pace writing, it, either way, to slow and dragging along, or its quick and rushed and a bit of a verbal assault.

 

One of my biggest strategies is drafting main points and writing till I can’t anymore than going back and editing and taking out things that don’t make sense, it really helps word count wise, and also it just helps to not get stressed for editing. The only caveat is that when I do finally get to the editing there’s a lot more mistakes and inconsistencies. However, that just comes down to taking a bit more time in the final drafting stage so its not too much of a drawback. 

 

I will definitely try to ‘keep the same energy’ that I initially approached the essay with in the first place. Also, one thing that I know for sure I’ll do next time is… WRITE. Lol. sorry, I couldn’t really think of a more proper response for this one, I always do something drastically different when I write differently.

 

I used a lot of statistics, or at least I looked at a lot of fo statistics. They help drive my point and solidify my motivation, I think. Honestly, though statistics always feel a bit breathy.

I would definitely try to sound less rushed for my next writing assignment of that nature. And also better utilize facts and statistics.
