MWA2 Writing Process

Writing this most recent paper was long and arduous and I ultimately felt I didn't give my best effort on my first draft. I compiled all my sources at one time, then I went into a detailed look at my materials so I could find citations and information for my arguments. Once I had the arguments together, I went into detail on both arguments with both citations and personal experience to enrich these different points of view on the both the structure of the US's soccer administrators and the culture surrounding the sport. The different domestic viewpoints got developed albeit in a shorter word count than designated by the prompt. I plan on extending these in a second draft later this week. I found this assignment very enlightening on how to develop opposing arguments believably. I was definitely confused early on, but I changed my outlook toward the paper from the overload of material toward specific diametrically opposed data points to make the arguments more simple.
When I sat down to write this essay, I tried my best to cram the entire essay into as few sittings as possible. This project was important to me, but I didn't want to belabor the process over a long period of time. Under the stress of completing the paper, I ended up cramming most of writing into the last 48 hours of the due date. I will allow more time for myself for the next writing assignment to complete and edit it.
When considering the PACT of my paper, I spoke to everyone who has an interest in soccer or youth sports in general. I wanted to express the importance of the availability of youth soccer to all children regardless of their identity. I wrote this essay in a world where the Men's national team failed miserably in their attempt to qualify for this year's World Cup. It is an essay with many reasons both to spread youth soccer to the entire country and why it will never be able to grow. I tried to show the entire argument with both viewpoints.
