To be honest, I felt that I had chosen the wrong topic to work on when I was deciding on what inequality in which country should I write about. If time could reverse, I would have chosen to write about something much more manageable e.g. income inequality in China instead of income inequality in India.
My essay went off with a bad start: I had misunderstood the essay requirements and went happily typing away about the secondary impacts of income inequality, the solution to the secondary impacts and suggestions to improve the solutions. I was, in fact, tasked to write about the current solutions for income inequality and to provide any suggestions to income inequality. Head down, spirits low, I headed back home to re-do my essay.
My second draft turned out to be better: it addresses the requirements of the essay, but Ms. Anita remarked that my essay lacked focus, which was a major problem for me. I had always known that my writing goes haywire and my content goes everywhere from Sun to Pluto, but thankfully, Ms. Anita shared in her comments on how I can be direct on answering the essay and also be succinct on my points made. That showed me how I could focus on what I want to argue in my essay, and draft three was submitted with zero problems.
To conclude, this essay was definitely a difficult task for me as I had to redo my draft 1 even though I have spent a lot of time on it, but the effort paid off when I found out how I could focus my arguments and make it clear and direct. More importantly to me is how smoothly the submission of draft 3 went, as I thought that I would have to go through another re-writing to make it better. Thank goodness that the re-writing was unnecessary.
Signing off,
