Read through your essay as if you are not the writer, but a reader. Put yourself in your readers' shoes. Did you leave anything out? Is there any piece of your essay that does not belong?

While this may seem like an easy task, I have learned from experience that while writing is difficult, taking away from my writing is much more complicated. I have spent hours writing, my brain is tired, but I read my completed project, and am proud of what I have accomplished. Then, out of nowhere, I realize that I am only allowed two pages out
