1. I'm content with the finished product of my paper. It was difficult at times to write about such personal experiences, but I got most of it down on paper. Its finished for the class. I definitely could have gone more in depth but I'm not comfortable sharing such dark parts of my life with the world so I held some things back for my own preferences. Had I been writing to myself or someone I knew on a much more personal level, I may have added more but it's just fine given the circumstances.
2. Reading everyone else's papers actually helped me out a lot. I wasn't sure which standpoint to write from, but after I read everyone else's drafts, they were all speaking from their own personal viewpoints so that was definitely helpful to shape the voice in my paper. I wasn't sure how safe it was to enter such a personal topic but in reading the other drafts, I became comfortable writing to the class because I could feel the personal aspect in their own papers.
3. I don't feel like I need much help at this point. The revision emails that I received from my classmates did wonders and I was able to make quite a few changes that made my paper even stronger.
4. In paper #1, I wrote about learning who your parents are and learning who you are. And learning that there is a big difference between the two.
5. The main idea that I wanted to convey in my paper was that being vulnerable is being human and it's okay to be human. Don't feel obligated to take all your traits from your parents, because the world has more to teach you then your parents may. Feeling pain reminds you that your hearts beating and doing something about that pain, reminds you that it's possible to heal again.
