This piece makes me really proud for a multitude of reasons. This is the final draft of my research paper, and it is posted in the tab before this. I spent a really long time narrowing down my search to get it just how I wanted it. I also spent a lot of time researching and getting that research into the paper. I think that I did a really good job of integrating sources; there aren't any quoted sources, and they all seem to flow well with how the paper works. A lot of people gave me complements at the part where I said, "Living with the same thing your whole life, you don't know something is wrong until somebody tells you otherwise." I'm really proud of that statement. I can kind of imagine it in a hall of fame for decent quotes or something. Also, its completely true. I am also really proud of how I was able to mix my facts with personal things. For instance, when I said, "As I mentioned earlier, I used a prism on my glasses for a bit to try and correct my SOP. What I think is interesting about this article is that Feinberg and Rosner claim to have invented the idea of putting prisms in glasses for correctional purposes." There, I talked about some of the facts I found during my research and I also talked about my own personal experience and how I can relate to the topic that i was sighting. Overall, I'm just really proud of this whole piece. I feel like I got to know myself a whole lot better because of it and I learned a lot about my disorder. I also learned that I don't know what to call it. Is it a disorder? A condition? A problem? It's not a disease or virus or anything bad, so I kind of look at it as a blessing. Thanks to this paper, I learned to kind of like it. It's a really unique thing about myself, and although it can be an annoyance, I really enjoy the look on people's faces when they say, "wait, really?" after I tell them I have double vision. "I did this research paper for me, so that I could learn more about myself, and maybe educate more people on the subject." The ending really sums up my whole experience with this project, and I think that the reason I'm so proud of it is because I got what I wanted out of the paper. That was just really cool for me.
