Why My Chosen Topic is Important to Me:

Personal Topic Importance Review

Research papers in general are very important. Their purpose is to be a form of communication over a topic that had a lot of hard research up into it. Not only this, but the facts stated in the paper need to be well supported. You can do this either through a biological page, or other form of works cited page. Research papers allow known information that was discovered by one person to be shared with other people whom have interest. In this way, knowledge can be built upon. 

This specific research paper is important to me because, like most writers, we choose to write about a topic we have in interest in. For me, this interest is in my future career, optometry. This paper is important because through the hours of research needed to put this paper together, I go to learn quite a bit, and to share my findings with my readers. My hope is that they learn a little something too. 

One thing I did have a hard time with while writing the paper, was organizing what I had to say. Facts were found from a wide range of sources, at different times throughout the research process. When it came time to set up how I planned to write the paper, It was hard to group similar topics in a paragraph without some being too lengthy and others no more than a sentence or too. This then lead to the problem of "the fluff". When the facts didn't make the paper exactly what I wanted it to be, and not quite the length requirement, adding unnecessary "fluff" seamed to be the solution. Instead, I found that this distracts the reader from the main point of the paper. It all became very frustrating. 

Research papers are important, and while I don't believe anyone just ADORES writing them, they can be enjoyable if the topic is of interest. Everyone has struggles writing papers at one point or another, so my advice, is to just get through it and work hard so that you may be proud of your work.
