The Good, The Bad and The Revision

When revising my essay, I attempt to make a checklist of what the professor has written all over the painful three or four pages written. There is not a single thing to complain about though, everything written on those pages are simply placed specifically to

help the writer, in this case me, improve in the near future. It helps greatly because not many of us are gifted with having a dominant right side of the brain. Furthermore, I have a dominant left sided brain, meaning is simple, I love mathematics and hate writing. I personally find fun in trying to figure out what is the derivative of a certain polynomial expression as oppose to writing a two page paper. Fair enough, with the professor’s notes throughout the paper and telling the student what he or she should fix, it makes it a thousand times easier. The thing I like about writing essays for Professor Young is that she gives us many chances to revise our essays. My tennis coach in high school once told me “Make mistakes… That’s how you learn what not to do”, obviously the mistakes will never be done on purpose, but it taught me not to be afraid to ask questions and make the mistakes.
