Reflection of Revision
I am not a person to write, especially papers. When I do have to write papers I basically have heart failure every time! Writing is my worse subject since being in college. When it comes to writing papers however, revision is a one of the most important parts I've figured out. Revision is much different from editing which you must keep in mind. Revision is not simply fixing grammar and punctuation. Revision is getting rid of unnecessary details and sentences, moving around paragraphs, proofreading and making sure your paper makes sense. My process of revision includes revising the thesis statement and making sure it makes sense. Once I see that the thesis is good to go I go through and make sure my paper has evidence to support my thesis. Without evidence to back up my thesis I have nothing. I like to revise each of my paragraphs too. I make sure each one has a topic sentence, evidence and a supporting quote. Lastly, I like to end by making a great closing statement. It's always best to leave the reader satisfied. For this particular paper I hope to revise my thesis and make it one of my best so far!

Writing is my weakness also and I struggle with every paper I write. When I revise I tend to start with my thesis also and work my way through the paper.
