I ended up writing my essay about gender roles, and how they effect athletics in American culture, and I was really happy about how it turned out. I discussed how these gender roles can negatively impact both men and women, and how they are enforced by the media, our peers, and older and influential people surrounding us in our community. It really made me think about how these ideas of "normal" impact my daily life, and how they have a huge effect on how i view people and events in my daily life.
I really like what the other two people in my editing group did with their essays too. It's interesting to see different people's thoughts on normalcy, and how they express their specific area of interest pertaining to it. I learned a lot by reading their essays both about them and about the subjects they chose to write about. Through reading and editing other peers' papers I feel like i learn more about my own style of writing, because i can compare the way that i write to theirs, and it makes me think more about how to better express my ideas and thoughts.
