I had many trials and tribulations whilst researching for my speech. I feel I learned a lot of useful information which I put into my speech. One of the facts that I feel I could use in the future is that people who are optimistic tend to have better mental and physical health. I believe it is important to practice as we are often surrounded by stress and pessimism. To create my citations, I used Citation Machine. I have experience using the program so I found it easy to use. I found many of my sources through Gale Topic Finder. It was a good way to find multiple articles relating to my topic but was sometimes difficult. Once I knew the official term used to describe my topic, Positive Psychology, I was able to access a website that was created by the first person that studied it. The next time I research, I will try to use different phrases when searching to find useful articles quickly. I may also try to find another topic finder. Overall, I feel I did well while researching but I can always improve.
