Overall, I had a good peer review experience. both Nick and Kadie left comments on my paper that i think will help me in adding to my paper and making it more sophisticated and an overall better paper that can reach more people. My goal going into a peer review of my own paper is to be as hard of a critic as possible, while looking at it with a different viewpoint.  this is because through past peer reviews i have found that it is the negative comments that I find more helpful than comments saying what i did right. i plan to do this by learning about other points of view that i could look at the paper with. i also plan to try and find something wrong with everything that i wrote because i believe that it is the best way of improving my writing. my biggest challenge will be looking at my paper with a new perspective, this will be a difficult challenge because i wrote the paper with my mindset on the topic and having to adopt a new one just to critique my writing will be extremely difficult. if i am unable to overcome this obstacle i will ask someone else to read through my essay, this is because the topic at hand means different things to different people so someone else could have a completely different point of view so their input will help me improve my essay the most.
