Research Paper Reflection
The most difficult thing for writing my research paper was the process of finding all of my sources, making sure they were appropriate, and then creating annotated bibliographies for each source. Once I found all of my sources and I researched and read over all the information about my research question writing the draft and pulling all of my ideas together was rather easy. Next year I think you should give the students some time to actually write the paper in class the week it is due because for me after sports practice and with all the other homework we had it was kind of hard to write the draft.
The peer editing we did in class for our final draft of our research paper really helped me. Not only all of the editing marks and feedback helped me, but also having the opportunity to read my peers papers assisted me and gave me ideas for ways to improve my own paper. The grade marks from Dr. D also pushed to find stronger ideas in my paper and better revise my thoughts.
From looking at the final product on my research paper I think I did a pretty good job and I know all those hard long hours of research and writing will hopefully pay off. In my paper I think the word choice and ideas were strong. I also believe I integrated my quotes into my words fairly well. Overall, I feel confident in my final draft.

Research Details
Monday: I worked on my research for my topic for about 1 hour and I made some note cards on Noodle Tools about the history of doping and blood doping now days.
Tuesday: I worked on and finish my outline at home this took me 30 min.
Wednesday: I researched some more on my topic for 15 min. and I watched the Lance Armstrong interview for 1 hour about his relations with doping and how it has affected him.
Total: 165 min.

Blood Doping Research
My research question is how endurance athletes are effected by
blood doping, endurance meaning cycling, cross country, track, soccer,
etc. The reason I chose this topic was because I really enjoy running
and watching pro track and cross country in the Olympics, so I wanted to
learn more about the scandals and the science of doping. Also in the
book I am currently reading, Pre, the story of the American running legend, the runner who beats Pre in the Olympics was later found to be blood doping and that is the reason Pre
lost. So far I have found that doping can have a very bad effect on
athletes. It can cause cancer, heart disease, and even death. If athletes do get caught doping they will be stripped of their medals and be suspended or banded from the sport.
How does blood doping effect endurance athletes? Blood doping is considered cheating and they're many consequences if you decide to dope. I requested to research on this topic because the scandals interest me and many professional runners over time have either doped themselves or knew/lost to another athletes whom had an advantage from doping. When athletes blood dope or use other performance enhancing drugs they will have to know they have a high possibility they will be facing health issues or criminal charges later in their life.

Dogs
At home I have two huge yellow labs that I am absolutely obsessed with! Their names are Big Dog and Jack. Yes we actually named our dog Big Dog! About three years ago we found Big Dog and no one ever claimed him, so we called him Big Dog because we didn't know what his name was and it just stuck. We have had Jack since he was a baby and he still is our baby.
Their day consists of sleeping around the house and eating. They are very lazy and never want to go outside. They hate outdoors the only time they go out is to eat or go to the bathroom. Sometimes I'll go run around the yard with Jack for avocation, but Big Dog never wants to. Jack is also very skillful at adroit at finding any thing that is ours and running around the house with it. But other than that the dogs have great demeanor. I love my dogs because I can snuggle with them all the time and they are really cute. I don't know what I would do without them!
