Self Reflection

            The second essay I turned in for a grade did not get graded because I had committed plagiarism. I did not know I was submitting a paper that I had plagiaries. I did put the source where I got my information from at the bottom in the work cited, but that wasn’t enough. My motivation for revising essay two was so it can get graded and prove that I didn’t plagiaries. The comments helped with grammar issues that were in the paper. I mainly focused on putting the source in the text so it wouldn’t seem like I committed plagiarism because I didn’t.  Essay two was my own writing assignment and did not put information from other sources without putting the source on the work cited. What I did not do was putting the link after the sentence with the information from other cites that I found.  I learned it is very important to put the source in the text because if not it will be consider plagiarism and that next time that I don’t put the source in the text it would be consider plagiarism like this essay and it will be an official warning. Revising this paper has helped me become a better writer not only did I put the source in the text, but also accepted your comments and took them as an advise. In the first paragraph I used a sentence that was obvious to the reader and it didn’t had to be there. Overall revising my paper has helped me become a better writer and my motivation to get a better grade helped finished the paper.
