Philosophy: There are no drafts at the next level (college), only due dates. Drafting is something you MUST learn to do for yourself to improve your quality of writing. Ask yourself, "Do the improvements that I have made really, fundamentally improve the essay?" Just correcting mechanical errors does not really improve an essay. It makes your essay more readable, but it's not really an improvement.
