What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

Research is important because it helps you know what things are about. Research is very important and it is a very good tool to know for the rest of your life. In college, there are going to be many cases where you will have to do research and you will possibly need to know that for your profession. In high school so far, I have learned how to find good sources and where I can look for research in each database. This year is really the first year that I've ever used databases so it was interesting to learn about. One teacher that has really helped a lot with research and got me started researching was Mrs. Nocita from PSMS. Even though we never learned about databases all that much, she really helped teaching us how we know that a cite is reliable or not.
