Reflecting on your writing center experience

Today I went to the writing center to get help on my descriptive essay paper. Going to the writing center has helped me out a lot in the past on my etiquette essay, so I knew that the writing center would help me out a lot too on this essay. I went to the writing center with my descriptive essay rough draft to see what I needed to add to the paper or take away from the paper to make it my best. The teacher in the writing center read over my paper and asked me what I felt I needed help on, and I told her that I needed to make my essay longer and with more sensory details. So we reviewed my descriptive essay and went over on where I can add more details and feelings so that the readers can get more of an idea of what I saw as a viewer of the video vlog instead of me just telling about like in a summary. By also adding more details and feeling I can make my paper into enough paragraphs as well, because my video vlog was only about 4 minutes long and the average video vlog was about 6 I needed to make sure I had enough of these details to make it the 5 or 6 paragraphs as needed fer each minute of the vlog. The teacher in the writing center also helped me change all the words that were past tense into present tense because I had to talk about this vlog as it was happening right now instead of me stating everything the girl had said in the vlog as past tense. I also got help by the teacher writing because she was writing on a scratch sheet of paper what went where in my essay and categorizing the main topics so I can divide them into the paragraphs that were required for this descriptive essay. I don’t think I would change this writing experience because it did help me a lot and gave me the re-assurance that I needed to feel confident about this essay.
