Through this process, I learned how to look for very specific information in the library, as well as the necessary discipline to comb through the research papers I found in order to form my own arguments about a specific subject. I learned the importance of being methodic and consistent with the research, and to not give up after the first few tries. My goal is to be a better writer, and I’m aware that I made a lot of rhetorical choices when it comes to specific words that I used or avoided using in this paper. I’m aware that this particular paper might be a bit sloppy, but I understand part of improving myself as a writer involves being honest with myself about the quality of the work.
