Grading Final Set of RHS Essays

I have to say that I have enjoyed this experience- as tiring as it has been. I think that I have learned a substantial amount both personally and professionally throughout this exchange.

The last set of essays was extremely difficult to get through. I know how I am with my own writing. I can't stand to proofread over and over. I felt like that was what I was doing with these essays. Some I wanted to scream, simply because I knew that they had not taken the revision seriously. Others, did a wonderful job at taking in our comments and working them (at their discretion) into their essays. I enjoyed many of them. It really gives you a rewarding feeling when a student has taken a very rough draft and has completly morphed it into something wonderful. But, I am very thankful that I have finished grading them. I have definitely learned a valuable lesson! :)
