Connecting the pieces

Over the past few weeks, I have been putting together an annotated bibliography and organizing what I learned from different studies.

Doing this helped me see connections between the articles instead of looking at each one separately. I kept seeing ideas about confidence, support, independence, and quality of life.

I also wrote a progress summary to explain where my research was going. This was helpful because I had to take everything I had read and explain it in a much simpler way.

I am starting to understand that research is not just finding information. I have to compare different studies, ask questions, and decide what information is actually useful for my own question.

I still have a lot to learn, but my project feels much more focused now.
