The first lesson<\/strong> I learned from writing this anthology project is that researching is not as easy as it sounds. My chosen topic was empowering young black girls through literature, and as I hunted for related articles, I was overwhelmed by how many results I\u00a0found that skirted the edge of my topic but didn’t completely fit . The few that I did manage to find, after narrowing down my search to very specific results, were mostly written by the same two people. I realized that while there was a lot of research surrounding fighting systematic racism, and empowering\u00a0black children, there wasn’t as much of a focus on black girls<\/em>. Instead of being discouraged by the results, I was more determined to\u00a0learn about what these young girls face and how through the power of literature they can be inspired to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

The second lesson<\/strong> I learned was that I tend to\u00a0overwrite rather than making my words count. I learned this as I took the instructions to write my proposal in the form of a list\u00a0as a suggestion and not the criteria. As a reader, and someone who enjoys writing,\u00a0my first response is to write like a storyteller rather than an academic. It will be a learning curve for me but as I’ve learned in class, “revision is one of the most important\u00a0stages of the writing process”(Graff<\/a> 139).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
