What I liked

The work that I did over the summer research was a very exciting one. Starting from literature review of the research to the hypothesis deduction , data collection , and performing the experiments , it was a challenging as well as equally rigorous experience. I got the taste of a full-fledged research experience. After the results were out , I coordinated with my advisor to write a paper regarding the work. Academic writing was more fun than I expected and the overall process was a very good experience . I submitted my paper to a conference. Hope I get accepted !!

What I wish was different

Advice

I always felt that you'd need to be to be extraordinary , or an extremely bright student to do research and produce some results . But , It isn't always the so . If we have patience on our work and a never ending desire to investigate problem and read literature of our work , even a hard-working average student can success in research project . We shouldn't walk away from research oppurtunities and fear ourselves . Also , Academia isn't boring . Let me say it's THE most thrilling thing you'll ever do.
