Almost there....

Last week is the busiest time of my life. Just thinking how will I manage to survive that week ...will be a relief. What a pleasant feeling... I did it. I felt so happy that I finished doing that research paper. I know....I procrastinated and whined.  But I did not let that feeling to over power me. I started it and I might as well finish it till the end.
After reading RLIT I am not sure if I am ready to read another book, although I found it very interesting. After looking at the second option, I gave a second thought about it. I look into some information that I could gather and feel myself how it will interest me. Actually after reading RLIT, it gives more idea what will be the best topic I will choose. I decided that "Women's Rights" is the best because it will answer my doubts regarding the culture of Iran.
I am aware that all nationality practice different culture and traditions. But not to the extent that if you did not follow it you are liable and bound for punishment. While I was reading RLIT I just wondered why this women has to hold a private gathering in somebody's house and why the veiling is a big deal.
I thought it is just part of their culture. So, I guess this is something to look into, to have a better understanding of women's right in Iran. What law did Iran goverment put into women? Unbelievable... I should say. If I am an Iranian citizen, I will not be satisfied of being just a hosewife. Of course I would love to to take care of my family, to see my kids growing. But what if they are growned...what would be my life without education and no opportunity for me in the society. I will be a useless citizen, that is boring without  participation in the society. I can not just be staying at home and follows what my husband dictate me to do. This researh project is really an awakening for me to thank what a blessing that I have, having a freedom that is priceless. That I have the freedom to live my life, to work and educate myself. I can be productive and be a useful citizen.
While I was doing the research project it opens up a different style in writing. Normally when I write my essay it is all about my opinion and ideas. With this research I found it difficult to start with because I have not incorporate a lot of information in one. My struggle is how I will connect the article from one to another and insert my analysis too. It is really hard to juggle all these information.  But I noticed this is exactly what other writers do. To quote, unquote and analyze an argument.
This research project is a challenge and I really put my work into it. Like I mentioned it opens a new style in writing which I think at first I think I can not do it. But I am just happy that I overcome my fear and stress and I learned a new style of writing. I am just holding my breath till the end...we are almost there.
