research blueprint

When i would begin my research paper on the topic i picked the first step would be picking a research topic that is not to broad and specific enough to write a 3-5 page paper on. the topic that i have picked is, what are the affects to a child who does not have positive reinforcement in their lives? the next Step would be to find information via using the internet, books from the public and school library, and possible interviews from teachers or parents. after this I would compile all of my information into a nice neat research paper that is well presented.

possible research topics

1. Homeless shelters

Currently I am very interested in volunteering at some local homeless shelters around Redlands and nearby locations. With this in my mind I would like to research on finding homeless shelters around the area, also the times at which these shelters need the most help.
2. Depression
Many people that I am very close to suffer from depression. Researching this topic I would hope to find out more on medications that are used to treat depression, whether therapy or medication should be used and also why people suffer from depression.
3. Spirits
Lastly I would like to research good and evil spirits not for any specific reason. This topic       is a very controversial and interesting topic that many people avoid. there are many different beliefs and thoughts about this topic that i would like to explore.

Hi everybody! My name is Kristen. I am currently going to Crafton Hills College planning on majoring in respiratory Care. I am starting to think that I am changing my direction more towards elementary school eduction.  my current job is working with kids at a community center and i love being around them but i am not sure whether or not i would like to do that or not.I guess that this is the perfect time to think about what i really want to do. I kind of like that we have to blog every week I am not a big myspace person (anymore) so hopefully this will be a little bit better than myspace i'm sure it will since it is for a grade, but you never know. well anyways i hope everybody has a great and restful weekend! yayy four day weekend!!
