This summer research was a very rewarding experience for me.  I got to research a project that aligned with my interests.  The work helped me to refine my interviewing skills, including conducting and transcribing interviews.  I also had to opportunity to hand code data in excel as well as work in analyzing data using SPSS.  Applying theory and methods learned in class was the most fascinating aspect to me because it allowed me to take the knowledge that I have acquired throughout the years in order to help make a difference in the community which surrounds my school.  Working with other faculty students teams helped with my public speaking as well as my interpersonal skills.  The lessons and skills that I have gained from this hands on research are irreplaceable.
