My perception of research and writing has changed over the last several week. I used to think that research is about going to the library, using charts and statistics, and etc. to writing a good paper. What I don't know is that research involves both primary and secondary research. Before this class, all was taught in high school as far as I remembered is mostly secondary research which required a lot of going to the library and finding as many facts about a certain topic as possible. This class taught me and hopefully most if not all students to use primary research which required one to actually go out and gathered most of the information and experienced it first hand. Primary research had made most of my paper a tad easier and much more fun to write. Not only primary research makes the paper a good paper, it makes the paper more interesting because our readers are reading a personal experience which the author experienced it first hand.

In closing, these last couple paper has given me the opportunities to go out and experienced first hand with a few of the local professionals such as; Studio of Houa, David B. Lee Dentistry and Maywood Environmental Park. Not only I get to experienced it first hand, I am also learning it at the same time which makes the whole experience more fun.
