REFLECTION
Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project. It has been a long time since I have had to do a research project and I found it much more interesting being able to pick my own topic of rather than having to be assigned one.
I actually chose to do Watergate because of a teacher I had in the 8th grade. We studied US Government that year in school and we did an entire unit on Watergate. It was the first time I had ever been really interested in history and I believe it was that teacher who finally sparked my interest in history.
It never dawned on me to explore the way the Watergate scandal effected the way Americans felt about the US government until I started researching for this project. I came across several articles that painted a detailed description of the hurt and confusion people felt after the scandal. I hope that people can learn as much as I did about Watergate and its aftermath.
