If I was able to conduct research that would benefit children and their families I would focus on poverty and health issues. I would love to end poverty by providing education and needed job training to increase the financial stability in the children homes. I know that money does not buy happiness but I know that having a stable income will provide the necessities that families need to survive.
I would also like to find a cure for childhood cancer. At this moment I have a coworker whose daughter have cancer. The little girl is only three years old and has been through different types of chemotherapy and treatments for the last year or more. I have seen the family put on a brave smile to be strong for their daughter knowing that the chances of her being cured is slim to none. If I was able I would conduct a research project that would provide a cure for their little girl and other children that are also suffering from this illness.
