College writers write multiple drafts and revise the entire essay or large sections of the essay for higher-order writing questions related to meaning, structure, logical development, and concrete support of ideas and assertions. Revising your college essay is more than just tweaking your grammar and word choice. College essays must say something important and meaningful. Thorough editing helps ensure that the essay says something interesting and useful. During high school I wrote for an educational finance website for high school students called Investeens. I was the head writer for the "Tech Talk" section and reported on different sectors of the tech world as they related to finance. This was my first experience with “professional” writing. As I sat down to write this essay, I reread all the articles I wrote and it was honestly painful. All I was doing was spewing facts and observations without any overall support or analysis. It disgusted me because now I saw myself writing that way, and I wondered why it was that way. When we walked into your classroom on the first day, you asked the question: How do you learn to write? We all guessed randomly until someone finally said “through analysis.” I don't think I fully understood what it really meant. You described this as looking at the situation in front of you and asking yourself why. Why did you write it? Why did you write it this way and not another way? And by answering these simple questions you not only create a more meaningful essay but an understanding of yourself as a writer and that is more important than anything you could ever write. After taking this course I will probably never look at the essays I wrote again, however, writing to...... middle of the paper ...... asking yourself "why?" and asking yourself why you do something is a way to understand yourself. We as writers must accept that we, and by implication, our work, is never perfect. We can always use editors and outside help to guide us on our path to the best we can be. Revision is the most important part of creating any essay because at this point the writer discovers any structural errors. Before you consider yourself finished with an essay, find a writing partner. Ask them to review your article and give you reader feedback on its strengths and weaknesses. Review their documents and provide feedback. Reviewing the work of others helps you understand and improve your own writing. Works Cited Zelin, Garrett. "4G a fake?" Invest.
