Independent Research

As Vanessa made her way into the school she saw a bunch of posters placed on the walls. They all told seniors to head to their assigned room. This is when she remembered what the day was. It was time for them to begin their independent research. Vanessa started making her way to her assigned classroom, reading the posters as she went. Independent research was something all seniors had to take part in to graduate. Despite the name, students are made to work in groups and can choose any topic they want. The school will provide funding and at the end of the year student present their research. This is a program that has been very popular amongst seniors, with it taking place instead of any of their classes. All they had to do was the research. Honestly, even Vanessa was looking forward to it. She hated many of her classes and was looking forward to seeing what topics were available. As she entered the classroom she saw a line of students going to the board to write their ideas for research. Some were broad and some very specific. Vanessa was just watching, waiting to see what was up there before she decided what to join.
