Should have opted for the AAs instead of the AAs

I'm often asked why I chose to conduct a study on Asian-Americans instead of African-Americans. the reason was based on need an impact. When I began this program, I wanted to make an impact. There's a lot of research on African-Americans but not much on the Asian population. Now that I'm in knee deep in the weeds, it's much easier to do research on the larger populations, why? There's more knowledge to pull from. What makes it even more challenging is the requirement to have research within the 5-year boundary.


All in all, it's a McD's coke night...I'm too far to turn back now. If I do ever get this thing completed and published, I think that it will truly add to the body of knowledge that addresses the Asian-American population. They are one of the fastest growing populations in America...
