The purpose of my research paper was to so my academic voice on an uprising social justice problem. My intended audience were highly educated professionals and scholars. As I wrote this paper I asked myself what do I write about how can I make this a great essay. I still ask what are other ways I can show my academic voice?. I felt that the term,” voice in writing” was had to understand in this writing. I was unable to use first person point of view and I was just a little unaware of how I could put my personal thought into the essay. I was able to learn a lot of statics on black inner city children. As I got into reading my information I learned a lot about what impacts a inner city child. My strengths was being able to relate to the topic and having a academic voice that tried to input my own ideas. My weakness were not being able to find more sources of information. I also feel that my weakness came from me not knowing how to do a proper research paper. The term,” voice in writing” did not show up in this essay. I feel that although I used my academic voice I was unable to really say my part.
