FINAL PHASE!!!!

Throughout this project I have been stretched beyond what I ever imagined I do.  Whenever I would start a project, I would research in about 10 minutes and then start throwing things into my paper left and right.  I never set up a basis for the research process.  However, this project did teach me that I need to spend more time to research and become more familiar with my topic, but it also showed me a way of long distance researching that was not for me.  Being completely honest with myself, I struggled with this type of research.  I had a hard time finding sources and then two weeks later, remembering what the source was.  I think my way of doing research will be spending more time researching but then starting the writing process right away.  I did not enjoy this type of researching.  The most valuable thing that I have learned throughout this process is the fact that researching takes time and effort but in the end it will be worth it.  I believe that now after reading a lot of sources and studying Lyme Disease, I can honestly say that I feel like I could discuss it with others and fight for my position.  Although I did not fully enjoy the researching, I think it proved very beneficial in showing me what it looked like to be a through researcher.
