Soo...my road to research

English.....wow its beesn very interesting. This subject was never my cup of tea...LOL. I could do the work but I never could really focus enough to get into it. I always just did enough to get by. Once I got to high school things changed. We were required to read the newspaper every class, take notes on it and cite the article. Then every Friday we had to write an essay answering a question based on the weeks current events. I was then on my road to doing research. Every year something new got added to the mix. We went from starting with reading during class, to outside of class. From a local newspaper that was easy to read, to the New York Times at a higher level of reading. This basically forced me into focusing...LOL.

In addition to this, in order to graduate we were required to write a 10 page research paper on the topic of our choice. So I guess you can say I have a little bit of experience. Although I should state that my 10 page paper only ended up being about 6...LOL
