strengths and weaknesses on essays

my strengths in writing an essay are in the begining when i brain storm and begin to write the essay including the out line the first draft and the thesis. my weaknesses are after the first rough draft i rarly do any work to try and change the essay that i have written. also i have weak counter argument. what i need to focus on with this essay is working on editing and revising my paper before i send it in. i also need to strengthen my counter argument. it also wouldnt hurt to try and widen my vocabulary a bit.
