Shadowing

This shadow session was by far one of the most entertaining experiences. Once again I was shadowing in study hall so it was another athlete whom I knew. She had a 5-6 reflection paper concerning a book she had to read. This assignment was for her feminist course with six other students. She had to read a book and then present it to the class (she did not specify but I assume the other students had to do it as well). She had already finished the paper so her meeting with the consultant was heavily focused on editing and revising. The majority of her problems were grammatical, occasionally using the wrong verb tense. About 3/4ths of the way through the consultation she revealed (after numerous added commas and semicolons) that it was more of a speech rather than a reflection paper. Hence, she did not have to submit it to her teacher; she only had to read it aloud. Upon hearing this the consultant looked confused and then proceeded to ask, through laughs, why she had seen her for help if it did not have to be turned into the teacher. The writer replied that she wanted to make sure that it sounded well since she had to read it aloud to her class. After that since the session was basically over we shared some laughs over what occurred.

Overall the paper was well written and had it been turned it for a grade I am more than positive that the writer would have received at least a B.
