In the final year or semester at Christopher Newport University, every student must complete a Capstone evaluation course. For economics majors like myself, this course lasts for a single semester. As part of the curriculum, we're required to take the senior seminar class, where we serve as mentees to our professors. Throughout the semester, the main focus is on a research paper.
In this class, we were given the option to work alone or with a partner on our research paper. We had the freedom to choose our topic, but the challenge lay in finding and analyzing the data ourselves. Unlike other courses where we could rely on existing research, we were tasked with expanding on previous findings using new data.
Taking on this project was undoubtedly one of the most demanding academic endeavors I've faced. However, the sense of pride I feel in the outcome is immense. I am especially grateful to my partner for their invaluable support throughout this journey. Having a solid partner by my side made the entire process significantly smoother.
Given the pride I have in this paper, I've decided to upload it to The Studio of Whisper Thoughts. It will serve as my first academic submission and perhaps the only one, given the level of effort and dedication invested in its creation.
