Hi Kaatiegabrielle. Nice start on your draft. One thing going forward - the fourth section is copied verbatim from your source. Because this comes from a US federal government site, it's not a copyright infringement, but you still need to clearly indicate that this is taken from another site (otherwise it looks like you're trying to pass someone else's words off as your own). In addition, simply copying this from the official site doesn't add much value for readers - you should focus on what independent secondary sources say about these things.
