Researching 1 in 6 million & How I Fell in Love with Post Its

First of all, I thought it was very interesting that Hilary wanted to learn so much about her grandmother, although I was sort of confused why she wanted to know so much information. I think in this article she explained too much of her own experiences, and not enough advice on how to do such in depth research. She mentioned that she made calls and many emails, and I think it's great that she put so much effort into it. This has made me realize that not all research comes easily, you have to do more than just type a topic into the google search bar. In How I Fell in Love With Post-Its, I basically learned that Susana really is in love with post-its. I agree that by using post-its, it is a great organization skill and can keep your research concise. I found that I had a lot in common with Susana; she always needed to be in a quiet place to work and once I get started on a project, I need to finish it. I cannot take breaks and stay focused at the same time. I like how she mentioned the fact that there's always a size, shape, and color for any type of information that you need to flag. I feel like after reading this, I will use her methods when researching.
