The essay turned out to be easier than I thought. I really noticed how important and helpful planning out your paper can be and creating a strong thesis statement. Planning prevented me from wasting limited time on plundering on what to write next or simply drifting off into space because I'm unfocused.

Overall, I'm improving and proud of my progress in writing essays in a limited amount of time.
