Previous Research

I believe my very first research paper was in third grade. We were to pick an animal and do basic research on the animal's habitat and population and such. I chose the Polar Bear because I had always wanted one as a pet. Needless to say, I quickly changed my mind as I was researching. Anyway, as I approached high school I found that I was forced to do research on topics that I wasn't necessarily interested in such as World War II. Blah. If you are able to choose a topic of your interest, you are lucky. It makes the experience so much easier and you don't feel like you are being forced to complete the assignment. I am a Nursing major, so I will be doing research on medicine and the body and other topics related to those. Topics of that category will not be too difficult or painful for me because I am interested in them. Research is something that many of us will be doing throughout the rest of our lives, so the sooner we get used to it, the better.
