Research Paper Reflection and Explanations

      Something I learned from my research paper is that not procrastinating makes everything much less stressful. I am a very big procrastinator and I was surprised at myself when I started working on it ahead of time. I took one day to write half of the paper and another day to write the rest of it. Doing this was actually a very big step for me instead of trying to write the entire thing the night before. It was also very helpful that I did the entire paper full out so that when I would need to go back in a make corrections, it wouldn't take me more than 20 minutes.

      Another thing that I learned from my research was that I am glad I do not live back in one of the Pre-Columbian Empires. The religious aspects of those empires was the focus of my paper and they were very violent. These cultures practiced human sacrifice to please their gods and I would not be okay with other people dying like that, or if I was the chosen one to be sacrificed. They were very brutal with their sacrifices, but that was just their way of life. I am glad that we do not hold human sacrifices in our country or our religion.
