My Influential Person Analysis

Improved Essays
For my influential person essay, I decided to write how my aunt Sarah impacted my life. When I first started prewriting for this essay, I was struggling on who I would write about.

By writing this essay I have realized that she is definitely a person that I would inspire to be. I thought that the requirements for this essay were well structured and I really enjoyed writing this type of essay. I found that writing an outline as my prewrite was very helpful and I have also found that it is the most helpful method of prewriting. As for peer editing,
