Peer Edit
Usually I am not a huge fan of peer editing because nothing gets done. However, Victoria was a great partner to edit my paper. I have some bad habits that I need to change and luckily she pointed them out so I now know what to look for in my writing. It's hard to go over my own paper and look for mistakes because I know what I am trying to say! This peer editing was very useful for my rough draft and the revisions were completely necessary. I'm glad that my first college experience for peer editing was a good one because in high school, I dreaded it because personally, I thought it was a waste of time. My assumptions were proven wrong, and I look forward to my next step of this paper.

I had similar experiences in high school with no real actual work or editing getting done. You said it all.. judging one's own work is kind of a stupid thing to do.
