My Struggle This Past Six Weeks

I have had a real problem trying to decide on a topic for my final paper. I initially was going to write it on, the effects of illegal immigrants on the U.S. healthcare system. After doing some research, I found that I was having a problem finding enough sources to support my opinion on the subject. I then changed my  topic to, childhood obesity relating to single parent homes. I'm interested in this subject but after some thought I decided to write my paper on, childhood obesity relating to single parent homes and poverty. The small addition of "poverty" to my paper opened up a wealth of new information. I feel like I have finally found the topic that I am going to stick with. I hate that I have wasted the first three weeks on researching material that I won't use but at least we started early enough to be able to change our minds.
