Artifact: Research Paper Abstract" This research paper focuses on the relationship between “self-concept” or “self-identity” and academic performance. I present my personal experience with identity and academic performance as a means of personally discovering a connection. Studying the connection between these two can help understand some of the causes of distress among students, and encourage reflection. The findings of this research paper indicate that the concept of identity is perhaps the larger aspect that can affect academic performance. After discussing this connection, I present suggestions that can help improve students’ well-being, and thus their academic performance as well."

Reflection:This assignment was possibly the most difficult assignment I had had for any of my English classes. The abstract changed many times as I was developing the research paper. After each edit of the essay, the abstract was completely different. So, in the end, I left this as the last part of the paper to modify. Even though, I feel that the abstract still needs much improvements, this is the summary of the conclusions I have made through selecting, evaluating, interpreting and synthesizing sources I had found through research to construct the final research paper.
