Peer editing

I am always nervous a little bit when we do peer editing. I like criticism but sometimes I do not like receiving it from classmates. A lot of times I feel like they do an inaccurate job of looking over my paper for mistakes. It also really bothers me when someone inserts their own opinion in to how they think this idea of mine or that idea of mine should be incorporated into the paper differently. A lot of times I think that people are also just editing just to say they did some work. I know that it is good to hear criticism and other people's ideas on how they think something should be, but when it comes to my writing a lot of times I feel like I have a certain idea of how I want the paper to play out or how I want the speech to play out. I really feel like I need to be more open to people's ideas when it comes to my work because I always expect people to be open to my ideas/criticisms when I offer them. When we do peer editing it is cool to kind of see how others feel/view certain topics differently or the same as you. It's interesting to see if people interpreted a story the same way you did or if the saw something completely different.
