I have finished revising my first draft of my This I Believe paper and feel I am on a very good track. One of the biggest revisions I made was making sure my paper did not become repetitive. I did this so the readers stay interested in my paper, because even though the whole thing is over one belief there is plenty for me to say about it. Something else I tried doing was making sure each paragraph opened with a great attention getter. I tried to use a quote, rhetorical question, or strong statement to grab the reader not only in the beginning of my paper but for each section. I feel these changes will make my paper more interesting for the reader.
My biggest issue so far is more with editing rather than revising, I am terrible with commas, but I am trying not to worry about that too much yet. I did not receive very much feedback for my paper, because I actually didn't get any suggestions, everyone told me it was already good. So I feel confident in the changes I made because they came from my mind and were what I wanted to see in my paper instead of others. Although more feedback from others would have been helpful. I am very hopeful that I will receive more advice during the next peer review.
