Everything in my essay all happened throughout my life and not just at one moment, that made it so much easier to write about as some of it even happened just recently. While writing my shitty first draft it dawned upon me how much I could write about. However, I could not write about every little detail because that would take a lot of time and it would make my essay very repetitive. So, before I even began, I knew immediately what I wanted to talk about, and I knew immediately how I was going to approach it. I did not finish my shitty first draft till a couple of days before it was due. After the peer review my partner gave an incredibly good question to my essay. I took the idea/question I was given, and I added it to my conclusion cause it fit there. This question gave me a whole new way to look at my essay and helped me write a better conclusion and to me I felt my shitty first draft was missing. When I finished it felt complete, and I had everything there and ready.
