I improved my referencing skill on the second draft of the profile assignment. The seminars and lectures has given guidance on proper referencing. I wanted to incorporate at least two directed questions on the person I profile for quoting within my profile assignment. Blend the personal quotes within the narrative so the information flows. Have at least 3 good references to the content in the profile assignment as well.

The profile subject has requested a complete copy of the profile. She was very appreciative of the interview questionsp. How I approached her in a good way, asking her before I started if she trusted me. I had given her a pouch of tobacco as an offering of my gratitude. The profile assignment was much more than just writings making a profile for me. Now I have made a friend through this assignment. An emotional bond was made from the issues she shared wholeheartedly.

My greatest strength in my writings is my life experiences being put forth. This maybe the only positive I could say I have a head start with from my peers. My life stories seem to capture the interest and I get great feedback through the commentary and word of mouth. These personal attributes made the profile assignment much easier to interview the subject and retain in-depth personal information. Issues that people don’t generally share openly.

I always re-read my writings now and check for spelling errors and punctuation. My writings come together in pieces now as I gather information. Earlier on I would just write out an entire blog at one sitting. The skill to back up my writings through reference is coming along nicely. In my profile second draft I believe I utilized good referencing sources for relevant information. One major thing I have improved is shortening my sentences, I was pretty bad with run along sentence structure.
