Research Update

While doing work on my research paper, the most difficult part was finding the sources. This was difficult because I couldn’t find enough sources on the databases that were relevant to my topic. Another piece of the project that was difficult for me was the annotated bibliography. This was challenging for me because it made me realize that some of my sources weren’t working well with my topic, so i had to go find new ones.
However, after I had finished the annotated bibliography and had sources that supported my topic, I feel like my ideas became more organized. I feel like I have a better idea of what I want to do with my paper. One thing that helped me get to where I am was writing out the main ideas that I want to cover in my paper because it organized my thoughts on paper. From here on out, I feel like the writing process will get easier as we become more and more organized.

    It's a good thing you found new sources. I like how you described your process

    I had the same problem with my sources. They would relate to my topic somewhat, but when it came time to do the annotated bib and notecards, I realized they weren't meaningful enough to my topic. Good post!

Human Nature

       I believe that humans are fundamentally good, but everyone is different. Everyone starts out good, but they are then confronted with decisions that shape what they are truly like.  I believe this because I have seen people from different backgrounds, parents, and parts of the world. For example, I went back to Tyler, TX, where I lived before here, and I saw how much all of my friends had changed from when we were kids and how different they were from my friends who grew up in Baton Rouge. Growing up in different environments changes the way people think and act.        Even though I think people are fundamentally good, I believe that people have free will to compliment or change that. Everyone in the world is flawed in someway, and that is caused by peoples decisions. Those decisions can lead to changes in judgement. So, if someones judgement is changed, that may change the way they view and feel about different situations. But, peop...

Concert

       This summer, my family and I went on a huge road trip to North Carolina and Washington DC. While we were in the car, we always listened to John Mayer's new album, the Search for Everything. As we listened to it more and more, my whole family started to really love it, and we associated it with our summer. We would listen to it in the car, at cook outs, and just around the house.        As our summer came to an end, my mom asked us if we wanted to go to his concert. I wasn't super excited about it because it was the night before orientation day, so I decided not to go. School was nearing and my sister, Emily, was so excited for the concert, but I didn't want summer to end. The day before orientation day, I went to go get a hair cut, and when I was done it was around 4 pm. My mom asked my on the way home, "Do you want to go to the John Mayer concert?" I was so confused because my sister was about to leave in thirty minutes, and I didn't kno...
