Research Round 1: What is stress?
In my first round of research, my focus will be on clearly defining stress. Should it be looked at as something bad? Is it something we want to avoid entirely? These (and more) are all questions I will be trying to answer in this round. My goal with this round is to help provide a better understanding of stress for readers, and myself. For this project to be successful, we have to know what exactly we are talking about.
Research Round 2: What are the main causes of excessive stress in students?
For my second round of research, I will be looking at the main causes of excessive stress in students. Understanding the root cause of all these stressors will help me determine how much we can do to avoid them, and whether we need to avoid them in the first place. The information I gather during this round will help me going into my next round as well.
Research Round 3: What strategies can students use to keep their stress levels healthy?
My third round of research will be centred around the strategies students can use to keep stress levels healthy. I will be looking into the consequences of extra stress, and ways students can reduce its effect on their daily lives. My goal with this round is to provide healthy ways for fellow students (and myself) to manage stress levels.

This question has implications on me and my community because stress is something we all deal with, so having a good understanding of it and ways to manage it will benefit us all. Extra stress is not something to be taken lightly, and with this project I hope to educate others about it. I’m excited to begin my research and I hope you will enjoy learning about my findings.
Thank you for reading!
