Reflection on Open Letter Draft

I didn't receive feedback on my draft, since I was behind on the blog posts, but after reading it myself over a few times I just feel like its a little emotionless.

Now I don't think that this is the type of letter that needs to be oozing emotions, but my letter draft is kind of stereotypical, like it was written by a computer or something. When I first wrote my draft I didn't have any quotes or evidence yet, but I do know where I am going to put it and those quotes and examples will definitely help me elaborate.

Regarding my time management, I can utilize my blogs from project 1 to show how I used A LOT of time researching things that were useless to me in the end because I wasn't really sure what I was doing, and I lost interest after about an hour. But to show my evolution, I can reflect on project 3 and how my time management during research was on point because I cared so much, and I was able to realize what would aid me in my process, not to mention I already knew a good bit about my topic.

I will elaborate on the future of my writing as well, because even though I'm not exactly sure what my post-graduation plans are, I'm fully aware that any job or profession I get into will require exceptional writing and communication skills.

Draft of Open Letter

I'm a little wary of the letter genre, that's really my main concern... I am not exactly sure how formal my draft will be, it might end up like one of those horrible Odyssey "open letter" articles, but I guess we'll see. I know I will need to make it longer and elaborate more, but as of now its kind of a skeleton of my letter.
