Research Paper...YUCK

To be honest, I was actually dreading writing this report; however, when I began to brainstorm on the possible subjects I could write about, I became very interested.  I am positively sure that I want to write about my major:  Secondary Education concentrating on Exercise Science.  This particular subject has caught my interest because of two major contributing factors.  The first one being, my love for helping children.  Secondly, my unique focus and drive in the field of exercise science.  
What I'm particularly excited about is observing students, and asking them questions to see how much they really know about health and physical education.  I've taught P.E. classes around Kentuckiana helping kids and adolescents to be more informed on the importance on daily physical activity and having a healthy diet.  I believe that educating young men and women on these specific topics will offer them valuable knowledge they can carry with them for the remainder of their lives. 
The schools that I am looking into observing at are:  McFerren Elementary school, Highland hills middle School, Floyd Central High school, and New Washington Middle/High school.  The age variation is vital to my report because I want to see if there is a subtle, moderate, or dramatic difference among the age groups' knowledge on health and physical activity.  
This report paper will also be a learning experience for me, and will by far be the most interesting experience for an english class. 
CHEERS!!!
