HW#8
Since this week we were proofreading and peer editing I decided that I could use some work on proof reading my own paper before I submit it to avoid some of the grammatical errors that turned up in my draft. I used the tips given to me by classmates that peer edited my paper. I also used http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/proofreading.aspx and http://www.dailywritingtips.com/category/grammar/ to understand my mistakes.
Original: Pregnancy is a topic that always interests me because it’s such a unique and interesting process. I was pregnant with my daughter when I was 17-years-old. Since I was so young when I had her I wasn’t thinking about having any more children soon afterwards. My life revolved around caring for her and making a life for us. It has been just the two of us since she was a year old and being a single mom can be a struggle. Keeping up with our life was full enough that still, I never considered having anymore children. I was always very happy with life being just the two of us.
