Once I feel comfortable submitting my assignment, off it goes. On several occasions, I have felt a lack of confidence in sending my paper. There are times when I think of things I could have added or written differently after. Overall, I know I have learned a lot from writing these papers and doing all the research that comes with it. I have a lot to learn on writing papers, but that will become easier the more I write. I will learn what little changes I can change to make writing easier for me.
