First Graded Paragraph

I was a little nervous about writing my first graded paragraph. It took me a long time to get started, and there were so many choices to pick from. I think the first paragraph is always the hardest, because you never exactly know what the teacher is looking for especially when you have different writing teachers each term. Once I got the paper started it didn't take long before my entire page was filled. I think the hardest part about writing a story is keeping it to a minimum amount of sentences. It took me quite some time to decide on what I wanted to keep, and what information was not needed. Then, I was nervous coming to class with three copies of my paper, because I honestly do not like other people reading my work unless it is the teacher. But the peer review did help me a lot, and I enjoyed getting feedback. I received a lot of great advice on things that I didn't even notice. I am glad that the first graded paragraph is out of the way!
