A Little About Myself

My name is Arron Burnett and I am very excited to begin this course.  My goal is to grow as a writer by further developing my skills as a researcher.  I am currently enrolled in the Social Work program completing the last stages of my second year.

I registered into this course mainly for personal reasons that goes way back to my teenage years.  In my travels, back then It was not unusual to find a pocket size notebook in one of my pockets.  At any given moment that notebook would contain the words of my unspoken thoughts.  I wrote about personal relationships, philosophical thoughts and various insights.  Now that I am older and with much more responsibilities than I had in my adolescent years I do not get the opportunity to write as much as I would like but the interest for writing has never left me.   So when I saw this course I thought it would be a great opportunity to acquire professional methods for research and begin to enhance my personal skills as a writer.

I am taking this course to apply to my general education requirements and to also fulfilled my personal interest in becoming a more polished writer.  I want to apply these skills in my present and future academic studies.

I have not yet been exposed personally to information management softwares such as RefWorks or Zotero, although I look forward to the challenge of becoming aquatinted with these tools.  My hope is that by participating in this course I will gain the required research skills, so whether academically, professionally or personally, all aspects of my writing pursuits will be benefited.
