I really enjoyed the experience of revising another student’s paper; I found it beautifully challenging and insightful. I kept in mind these main points that Kate gave us to read over. I believe that these points helped me the most while reading the essay. First, be empathetic second, be a mirror and finally, avoid judgmental reactions, and I believe that these points helped me to be more understanding and yet critical because I wanted to give him or her my best advice.
I also loved reading what my peer saw in my essay. I was glad to read that she could vividly imagine what I described in my paper on my fist day of working on my families ranch. When writing my paper, I hoped that the reader would be able to experience my feelings, smells, and thoughts as he or she reads. And based on my peer’s comments I believe that I accomplished my assignment on the Personal Narrative Essay. Also I enjoyed taking the time in describing my adventure and letting my peer experience it as well.

Ha! It's so funny how things will stick with students. I don't even remember saying "be a mirror," but I will have to remember that one. Ahh yes, accidental genius!
