How have your experiences with revisions changed the way you view youre own writing and style?

Coming into this class, all I really knew about writing papers was what I had learned in high school and before. Now that this year is coming to an end and I have written close to ten essays in these past two semesters alone, I realize that writing a college essay is extremely different than writing essays in high school and junior high. Sure, there are still the basics--intro, the body, and the conclusion, but in this class I have learned so many things about writing an esay in general and especially on how to edit and revise it.
Usually, when I would revise an essay, I would edit the grammar, check for spelling mistakes, and things like the wording of each sentences. There were many things that my English Professor had taught us to use when revising an essay. For example, the writers workshops, having other people speculate and revise your paper along with the professor, really helps you get more ideas and helps you know what you need to change. After all of these and all of the feedback I had recieved, I do now know what my writing needs to impove on. And I look at my writing as more scholary, even though its nothing close, but more professional than how it was when I started the year out.
