Struggling

I have learned a lot about myself as a writer lately. While working on the micro-theme assignment, I realized that I have trouble straying away from the traditional five paragraph essay that I had been taught throughout my education. When Dr. Kyburz said that this assignment would be different from what we learned in the past and that some of us would struggle with it, I had no doubt in my mind that it would be easy. I thought to myself, it only has to be one page? This will be easy! Boy was I wrong! I knew that there wasn't supposed to be any bias in the paper, yet I still found bias woven throughout my wording. Even after I edited my micro-theme when Dr. Kyburz told me I needed to fix some things, I still noticed bias was in there. I just really struggled with completely getting rid of any sort of bias. I completely understand that a micro-theme is nothing like an argumentative paper and I wasn't purposely trying to argue, but I can now see that I was in fact doing just that. Not purposefully but subconsciously. In the end, I feel that I revised my micro-theme very well. I changed to explaining possible causes rather than consequences to help get rid of the bias. I feel that my revised paper turned out well but now all that's left is waiting for that grade! :)
