After Paper 1

I believe that topic overall was an easy one, especially because it had to do with yourself. The problem with this is that there are many things you can talk about. A difficulty I encountered while writing this paper was trying to keep it within the limits. Since life is always continuing and does not just jump from one situation to another, there is always more that you can include in a paper like this. All of these experiences can be related to your topic somehow, as it is about you, and would end up making an extremely long paper. I believe that by having to include only the most important parts of your life in this paper, we had to learn what was considered essential in writing a paper like this. Another difficulty I found in writing this paper was trying to get the reader to relate to the topic. Since my topic has a lot to do with international views, it is very difficult for people to understand, especially if they have not traveled very much. Next time I would take more time to decide what to talk about, as well as brainstorm more before beginning to write.
