4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing I learned from this experience is that it takes time and patience for something to be finished and that you have to be as concentrated and focused to succeed in the world of editing. I realized over the summer that not everything I do is the best but with a little help from others around me it can become great. I can achieve great things if i take my time and use patience.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.

• My senior topic is going to be Editing. Working with Dr. Kessler was a great help in choosing this topic because of the many different things i was told. I was told to become a great editor you start at the bottom writing stories or papers and you work yourself up. the trick to it is to make sure most if not all your spelling and grammar and sentence sequencing is correct. I also learned from my experience that even a little change can help.  I found that finding a mentorship is actually more difficult than I thought when it came time to look for one in editing because not everyone knows what a mentorship is. I learned that editing is a big job and that not one but three people will edit one piece of work before an actual editor takes a final look and like what they see. I found that editing is something I love doing because every time I edited something I would smile.
