I am surprised at how specific the actions in my essay were laid out. My use of passive voice worked in the context of the script, and I couldn't find any instances where active voice would improve the grammatical quality of the sentence. At the same time, I think I should try to be more consistent with my use of active voice and try to be more vivid in the use of my verbs.
