• Briefly explain why you are interested in studying your topic:  

I’m interested in this topic because the ultimate goal is to be successful in the future and the more knowledgeable I a the better off I believe I will be.

• The overall question I plan on answering by the end of the project:

Haley: What allows people to be successful?

• Sub questions I will need to answer in order to answer the overall question: 
• What is success defined as?
• How does the value of success in our society affect people?
• What do all successful people have in common?

• My plan of research (what specific Library Databases, specific websites, names of authors, people, etc. will I pursue to find the answers to the questions above):

In order to answer my topic questions I am reading the book Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell, which discusses the factors outside of personality and upbringing, that affect future success. In addition to that I will include points of views from various articles from databases such as CultureGram and Gale Student Resources in Context.
