My research paper experience

The most pleasing experience in my academic career has been writing research papers. I enjoyed writing them at university and now at advanced two. Really, I had an excellent time more than hard time when I wrote my research paper because I really love to do this research paper. Therefore, when I faced any difficulty, I just considered it as a challenge.

When I first got the research assignment, it took me near one week just to outline what I wanted to write about. I knew that I had to read lots of articles. When I started researching, I collected and printed out all the articles I could find and started reading. Reading those articles was the hard part. It was a lot more work than I thought. The more I kept digging for information, the more I found.

I wasn't sure what I should do when I was reading. Deciding what information to use and what not to use, and where to paraphrase or where to use direct quotes instead are bit confusing. However, after commencing the writing I felt more relaxed as I started explaining and connecting the information.

Furthermore, I had the chance to discover a lot of new knowledge while researching and writing my research paper. At the beginning, I thought that I knew a lot about my topic: Factors affecting Intra-Family Business Succession. However, when I searched more information for my research paper, I discovered that there are a lot of things about family businesses that I did not know before.

Although my research paper this time is not as perfect as I want, I am so proud to write a research paper in English. I learned that writing is a continuous attempt and I certainly gained more learning from researching and writing papers than from any other kind of learning practices.

Finally, I would like to thank you Scott and Marley because you are good instructors. You always support me and give me good suggestions that will lead me to write a great research paper at my Ph.D. study.
