Since the topic selection essay my topic has
stayed the same. The topic had to be
relevant to me and education or the work force.
I chose Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as my topic
because I am infected with MRSA got infected at school. Many people do not know about the severity of
the issue and how easy it is to spread the infection. As I developed my thoughts into the
exploratory essay I realized that I did not have much of an argument. I talked with Mr. Eagan and found that I did
have an argument it was just more of an informative argument. My claim started off as awareness and
prevention of MRSA in schools but later turned into the school’s budget and
redirecting money to hold assemblies taught about MRSA and bacterial infections/diseases. I really saw my claim coming together in the
second draft of my exploratory essay when I started getting a head start on the
research essay. As I was researching I
decided to ask my former principal how much money our high school got and where
that money went. After he told me I
realized that there was a problem in the system because none of the money was
going towards health assemblies and I believe that it should. When I looked further into how assemblies
were beneficial in other schools I realized that that was going to be my main
focus of prevention style. Other
programs in other states were successful (even if they were not health-related)
so I thought that they could work and open students eyes to see how bad MRSA
really is. My main points in my final
essay focused on awareness, prevention, and how programs work. I went into depth in each of these categories
and backed up my thoughts with facts and statistics. Overall I think that my final paper has a lot
of good points that school board members should consider and realize that some
of the money needs be redirected to bring awareness of MRSA (and other
health-related issues) to students in order to stop the spread.
