This essay mentions the most important thing the author mention's in her article and chooses one significant idea that the author made in her article to specifically write about. The writer quoted the author and refereed back to her many ideas from the article to include in this essay. This writer hinted to a personal experience in their essay but the experience could have been easier to find. Instead of referring to everyone in the world ages 10-50 the writer should of specified or made this example more personalized. There is not enough "mention" of their personal experience. There were also a couple of grammatical errors I noticed, I would advise to re-read your paper to make sure you catch any grammatical errors that can be avoided.
Overall i do however think this person should pass because the summary, authors important message, and the significant idea of the authors were all broad topics in this essay. The grammatical errors were minor and there were not many and there was a personal experience. However there should have been more in depth and more clear to the reader at the end of paragraph one, that your example was your personal experience.

Sondra Perl's Processes
The three aspects from Sondra Perl, Retrospective Structuring, Felt Sense, and Projective Structuring are all examples of ways to make your writings improve. Retrospective structuring is looking back on the beginning of your writing for example before you started organizing your essay you could of done exercises such as free writing to get your ideas together and what retrospective structuring does is taking those under developed thoughts to shape and reorganize them. Felt sense is a very important part of the writing process that is feeling exactly what you want to say almost like an intuition. For example "does what i say make sense?" or "Is this really what i want to say?" And finally projective structuring which is the ability to form what someone needs to say so it is better understood by others. For example putting your self in the audiences shoes and thinking "how would they respond?"
All three of these aspects are very important, but the most useful and my favorite is felt sense because it basically is the reason behind your writing. 'How will you write?' 'What will you write?' and 'why you are writing?' Is all felt sense. When writing an essay you need to say exactly what your thinking and you need to have some sort of opinion or intuition in order to place an 'argument' to get your essay started. Without felt sense you would not be able to get your opinion or thoughts into your essay, none of it would make sense and there is no motive to your writing.
