Reflection...
While playing this song I learned that it is helpful to practice and write in every note that you don't know. I also learned that you need to look over every measure carefully because it looks like the same rhythm in a lot of measures but there may be one different or note pattern. I also worked a lot with dynamics and made sure all of them were in the right place and played correctly.
