Research Proposal

       I am really excited to start researching my topic and learning more about it. I only have a small preconceived idea about my topic. This new type of research project for me is different but refreshing. I have always known everything I am going to write about before I even do any extensive research. I am glad we are able to pick any topic that interests us. This will make the project more interesting and make it seem less like an assignment and more like researching for fun. My topic about the Colorado River water level decrease holds a lot of interest for me. If the water keeps disappearing it would have a huge impact not only on my life in California but all of the rest of the South Western States. I want to know why this is happening and if there is anyway we can turn back time for the river. This is one of my favorite assignments so far in this class because we aren't just doing the project for the grade. This project is to satisfy our curiosity and help us learn more about a topic. When I was picking a topic I had a lot of ideas to choose from. I think I ended up choosing this topic because I miss my California home and the vacations my family and I would take in Arizona on the Colorado River. This projects helps me feel a little less homesick!
