Reflection of Revised Essay - First Gen College Students

Eng 101
30 May 2019
The essay that I am revising is the very first essay I wrote for English 101. In this essay
we had to talk about a specific group of college students and one struggle they face while
pursuing their college degrees. I chose to write about first generation low income college
students and my initial grade was an 82/100 which is not bad at all for the first essay I wrote in
this class. I have made corrections as well as removed paragraphs I did not find were necessary
anymore. I specified the requirements needed to join the TRIO programs listed and the purpose
of the programs. In paragraphs 4-8 I have added what the requirements to enter those specific
programs are as well as who is eligible to join and what will be offered in each program. I have
removed a paragraph that mentioned the Educational Opportunity program that I had initially
wrote about, and deleted it because I felt like it was similar to what was being offered in other
programs I mentioned. I had a couple of grammar errors such as run on sentences that could use
commas or periods which I have added. I also reworded my conclusion to mention how many
programs in total are available but I did not mention. Finally I fixed my works cited page to the
proper format. The second line of the citation must be hanging and I fixed that.
