To begin, I choose to do the proofread a friend’s essay and/or ask a friend to proofread your essay. This was an interesting exercise for me cause I never had the courage to actually give my work to one of my college students. In fact, I just personally never share my works or grades with any of my fellow comrades. Indeed, I find that all my research and works are intimate and very personal.I find that this exercise really allowed me to get out of my comfort zone. Indeed, sometimes my sister helps me to proofread my work and tell me if there are things to modify. But never again have any of my classmates read my work. In short, when I chose my partner I knew that I had to trust her and also trust myself. I think that's one of the reasons why I never share my work with others and that I'm afraid of the reaction that others may have on me. Indeed, I am a very anxious person who suffers of performance anxiety. And very often I underestimate myself. This causes me to mistrust people. I always feel that my work is never perfect or that others will judge me and criticize my work. Even so, this is a misconception. When I did this exercise. I made a decision to trust myself to my work and my potential. Then I saw that I was bad as I thought. Besides, having your work proofread by another person can also be beneficial. She underlined the elements that I should add. Also, she really enjoyed my work. In short, I should not have been afraid that I was not going to be up to it.
