Name

Mitchell Laurence Hatcher. My name really doesn't have any special meaning, or atleast my parents didn't intend to have any when I was named. My middle name is named after my great grandpa Lauerence, but thats about it. I never met him, I was born after he passed away. Mitchell does not have any special meaning in my family. I guess my parents like the name and just went with it. I looked up Mitchell on the internet and babynames.com said, "Who is like God?" is the meaning for Mitchell. Im not really sure what that means totally but it does sound pretty cool.

Reaserch and Questions

The library session helped me out a great deal. I had no idea how much information we had acces to the library. The person giving the tour was extremely helpful in all areas. I liked using the database for articles. It was suprising that you could search topics and find thousands of related articles. This feature helped me relize that I probably need to narrow my topic more. I plan on using this feature much more in the future. After class was out, I went and found the books I looked up earlier and they were not hard to find at all. I ended up checking out one of them.

This paper is not as detailed as I first thought it would be. At first i thought that you would pick a topic and basically tell everything there is to tell about it, but now i relize that i need to narrow down my topic. Genetic engineering is a very broad topic. I have narrowed it down to gene therapy in humans or stem cell reaserch. The only problem i might have with this is finding sources that are not outdated. This technology is growing very rapidly and it might be difficult to find what is happening right now.
