You wrote passing papers. If you think you couldn't have done much better with just a quick review, you're mistaken.

Source - did the same thing and now write as part of my career. Review / redrafting works for ALL versions.

One of the best bits of advice a teacher ever gave me:

Essays are never done; they’re just due.

Da Vinci (allegedly) once said "Art is never finished, only abandoned". Same energy.

There are levels to everything. Even writing. Some folks are just built different. 

But I am still proud of you for writing "as part of your career" like many other careers out there.

There is a comma splice in your last sentence. Please revise and resubmit.

If you don’t know what a comma splice is you can say so.

Most teachers put more effort into reviewing the bad papers though, sometimes phoning in the good ones.
