My Growth as a Researcher
            I feel like this paper has helped me expand my horizons both as a writer and a researcher. This has strengthened my writing because it is a very informal style that I am not used to. Also any assigned paper will test your skills, patience, and endurance. As a researcher it has helped me to be better a picking reliable sources and how valuable interviews are. I have found that I would much rather ask somebody a question and get an honest answer than scour the internet for information that might not be reliable. All in all, I feel that I have had fun exploring careers and my future opportunities in this more interactive form of writing. After writing this paper do I think that I would actually want to be a guide? Dang right I do! I defiantly will pursue guiding and who knows, anything can happen.
 
 Sample Section 4 (unedited)
            All of my different sources and questions still haven’t completely answered my main question. What will I do as a future career? I don’t think any amount of research can answer this but like most things time will tell.
            During my time writing and researching for this paper I learned what it meant to actually try and find answers instead of just giving up. As the time passed, I also grew in my ability to search for the right answer by asking the right questions. As I learned more, I was able to work much faster and be more thorough in satisfying my mind.
            I have always enjoyed puzzles and brain games, and soon that’s how I viewed research. The once hated enemy became more of a challenge. Although I still don’t exactly enjoy research it isn’t half as bad as it once was.

My Growth as a Researcher
    Well guys let me tell you, I learned a heck of a lot. I learned all about the differences between them, the time lines and much more. I think its important to research and find out a lot about college or trade school before you go dump a load of money into it. I dang sure wouldn’t be happy if I did that and i know my parents wouldn’t be! In my beliefs if your line of work doesn’t call for  a very educated person then college is a waste. It cost more and if your not gonna use it why waste your time and money. And the same with trade school also. But if your gonna work a trade trade school is a good option.  Clear it up, And more about the what i learned.
