Reflection on Revision Process WP2

When I started writing the Writing Project # 2, I was torn between two topics but I felt like cannabis was a topic that many people know about but don't know the effects it has on the body. I wrote out my paper and thought it was such a great paper and that I was finished with it. It turns out I didn't use my sources correctly and I pretty much plagiarized over half of my paper. I didn't use quotations where I needed to, which obviously wasn't a good decision on my part. I was planning on just going over my paper and putting quotations around every quote and using my sources properly but my professor told me that most of my paper was quotes and for this assignment only about 20% of my paper could be quotes. So I figured it would be easier to start from scratch and rewrite my paper on cheerleading. I will inform my readers of what cheerleading is and why it is a sport, even though many people believe it isn't. This revision process is by far the most revising I've ever had to do (literally the whole paper) but I am glad I learned what I did wrong so that it won't happen again for this paper. Overall, it has been a learning experience.
