I am going to write about the issue of mental health in US universities. Actually, I have observed a lot of cases related to mental health in US universities both directly and indirectly. For example, a Chinese student in our university and my major, Physics, locked himself  in his apartment for four months because of depression. As I took abnormal psychology last semester, I can say that I have some academical background in this topic. However, based on what I have read and what I have experienced, I think I might have already chosen a point of view as someone who wanted to evoke the empathy from normal students and faculties to the population having mental disorder. As a result, my information gathering of my research might be a process of trying to find evidences to support the preexisted thesis. In order to enjoy the pleasure of finding out something brand new as Gerard did, I should forget what I have planned to write about and try to let the information I am going to access tell me what should I write about. Although my topic is not on the list, I do believe it closely touches what are listed. In order to avoid being ordinary and cliche, I think I will incorporate more academic resources instead of merely using social materials.
